QUASIMODO1 Encodes a Putative Membrane-Bound Glycosyltransferase Required for Normal Pectin Synthesis and Cell Adhesion in Arabidopsis

S Bouton, E Leboeuf, G Mouille, MT Leydecker… - The Plant …, 2002 - academic.oup.com
Pectins are a highly complex family of cell wall polysaccharides. As a result of a lack of specific
mutants, it has been difficult to study the biosynthesis of pectins and their role in vivo. We …
