摘要
The complete sequence of the Arabidopsis genome has revealed a total of 40 cellulose synthase (CesA) and cellulose synthase-like (Csl) genes. Recent studies suggest that each CESA polypeptide contains only one catalytic center, and that two or more polypeptides from different genes might be needed to form a functional cellulose synthase complex.
