Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: BcXTH1
  • Gene Name: Xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase1
  • Genome:
  • Species: Brassica campestris

Functional Descriptions:

  • BcXTH1, a Brassica campestris homologue of Arabidopsis XTH9, is associated with cell expansion.
  • These results suggest that BcXTH1 is the B. campestris homologue of XTH9. Expression analysis of BcXTH1 revealed that it was expressed in most of the plant organs. In situ hybridization showed that the gene is highly expressed in the floral primodia, especially in the epidermal cell layer.
  • Southern blot analysis indicated that the BcXTH1 gene exists as a multi-copy gene in the B. campestris genome. The function of the BcXTH1 gene was deduced from using an overexpression strategy in Arabidopsis.
  • Immunoelectron microscopy shows that BcXTH1 is localized almost exclusively to the cell wall, supporting our conclusion that it participates in the regulation of cell expansion in B. campestris.
