Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os02g22380
• RAPdb gene ID: Os02g0329800
• Gene Symbol: OsGT61-1 XAX1
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• OsGT61-1 transcript was noted to be ABA- and NaCl-responsive and its expression was more prominent in root than in shoot tissues.
• Ultimately, XAX1 plays a fundamental role in cross-linking, providing a potential target for the improvement of use of grass biomass.
• Moreover, structures resembling the direct cross-link between xylan and lignin (ferulated arabinosyl substitutions bound to lignin monomers and dimers), together with diferulates known to cross-link xylan, are strongly reduced in XAX1.
• XAX1 (Xylosyl arabinosyl substitution of xylan 1), a rice (Oryza sativa) member of the glycosyltransferase family GT61, has been described to add xylosyl residues to arabinosyl substitutions modified by ferulic acid.
