Abstract
Secondary cell wall deposition in plants involves the coordinate regulation of several complex metabolic pathways. The phenotype of the gapped xylem (gpx) mutant identifies a key step involved in regulating secondary cell wall deposition and consequently involved in the regulation of several diverse metabolic pathways. This proposal aims to exploit the identification of the gene defective in gpx for three basic purposes. (1) Determine whether the over-expression of GPX can increase secondary wall deposition. (2) Identify targets downstream of GPX and consequently identify novel components of the different metabolic pathways required for secondary cell synthesis. (3) Determine how the gpx gene itself is regulated.
