Other claims from this paper (3)
- Mechanism Cellulose synthase complexes synthesize 36 nearby glucose chains before their organization into microfibrils.
- Mechanism Hydrogen bonds stabilize the 36 glucose chains in a microfibril.
- Mechanism At least three CESA isoform types appear necessary for functional cellulose synthase complex organization.
