IRREGULAR XYLEM 9 | Brief Description | Nucleotide-diphospho-sugar transferases superfamily protein |
| TAIR Computational Description | Nucleotide-diphospho-sugar transferases superfamily protein;(source:Araport11) |
| TAIR Curator Summary | The IRX9 gene encodes a putative family 43 glycosyl transferase. It was coordinately expressed with the cellulose synthase subunits during secondary cell wall formation. Cell wall analysis revealed a decrease in the abundance of xylan in the irx9 mutant, indicating that IRX9 is required for xylan synthesis. Mutants have irregular xylem phenotype suggesting a role in secondary cell wall biosynthesis.IRX9 was identified as MUCI65 in a reverse genetic screen for MUCILAGE-RELATED genes. Despite producing only a few seeds, the irx9-1 mutant displays normal mucilage properties. |
