malfunction | developing stems of transgenic (LuBGAL-RNAi) flax with reduced beta-galactosidase activity have lower concentrations of free Gal and have significant reductions in the thickness of mature cellulosic G-layers compared with controls. Gn-layers, labeled intensively by the galactan-specific LM5 antibody, are greatly expanded in LuBGAL-RNAi transgenic plants. Gross morphology and stem anatomy, including the thickness of bast fiber walls, are otherwise unaffected by silencing of beta-galactosidase transcripts | Linum usitatissimum |
physiological function | beta-galactosidase activity is in fact necessary for the dynamic remodeling of polysaccharides that occurs during normal secondary wall development in flax fibers | Linum usitatissimum |
