The rice cellulose synthase-like D4 gene ( OsCSLD4 ) is required for resistance to Xanthomonas pv. oryzae

Plant cell walls serve as a physical support and a barrier to pathogen invasion. Cellulose is the main component of cell walls. The cellulose synthase-like D ( CSLD ) subfamily genes are required for plant normal development. In rice, Oscsld4 mutant plants are dwarfed and have na...
