Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation RNA-seq screening identified WAKL8 as a candidate for Arabidopsis secondary wall development.
- Intervention effect The wakl8-2 mutant had decreased WAKL8 stem transcript levels.
- Intervention effect wakl8-2 plants had reduced stem length relative to wild type.
- Intervention effect wakl8-2 plants had thinner xylem vessel and interfascicular fiber walls than wild type.
- Intervention effect Mutant Arabidopsis stems showed no significant changes in crystalline cellulose or lignin content compared with wild type.
- Observation WAKL8 has alternative splice versions predicted to contain only extracellular regions.
- Mechanism WAKL8 may regulate secondary cell wall thickening in Arabidopsis stems.
