Abstract
Many questions remain about the biosynthesis of cellulose, the major plant cell wall component, not least of which is why plants have so many genes for the cellulose synthase catalytic subunit. Perhaps multiple isoforms of cellulose synthase are needed in the same cell for the formation of functional dimeric complexes.
