Abstract

Recent studies have highlighted the involvement of membrane-anchored endo-β-1,4-glucanases in cellulose biosynthesis in plants, suggesting that there are parallels with Agrobacterium tumefaciens and other bacteria which also require endo-β-1,4-glucanases for cellulose synthesis. This review summarises recent literature on endo-β-1,4-glucanases and their role in plant development and addresses the possible functions of membrane-anchored isoforms in the synthesis of cellulose.
