TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a member of fasciclin-like arabinogalactan proteins (FLAs) containing a cell adhesion fasciclin (FAS) domain. Most strongly expressed in interfascicular fiber cells where it is localize to the plasma membrane-secondary cell wall boundary. Mutations result in altered stem biomechanics with reduced tensile strength and reduced tensile modulus of elasticity, as well as altered cell wall architecture and composition, with increased cellulose microfibril angle, reduced arabinose, galactose and cellulose content. Possibly involved in embryogenesis and seed development. |
