This project aims to investigate the role of recently discovered plant cellulose synthase-like CslM genes and to define the polysaccharide product associated with them. Successful identification of the polysaccharide is highly likely to increase our fundamental understanding of how cell walls are made, how cells stick together or fall apart as well as facilitating the training of the next generation of cell wall biologists in challenging molecular and biochemical techniques. This new knowledge could increase our understanding of fruit ripening, and how it might be manipulated. This could have significant downstream commercial benefits if applied to breeding programs of economically important fruit such as grapes, tomatoes and strawberries.

本项目旨在研究最近发现的植物纤维素合成酶类CSLM基因的作用，并确定与它们相关的多糖产物。成功鉴定多糖很有可能增加我们对细胞壁是如何形成的，细胞如何粘合或分离的基本了解，以及促进下一代细胞壁生物学家在挑战分子和生化技术方面的培训。这一新知识可以增加我们对水果成熟的理解，以及它可能是如何被操纵的。如果应用于葡萄、西红柿和草莓等经济重要水果的育种项目，这可能会产生显著的下游商业效益。
