Also known as: ATCESA2; ATH-A; CELLULOSE SYNTHASE; cellulose synthase A2; T22F8.250; T22F8_250
Summary: Encodes a cellulose synthase isomer, related to CESA6. As inferred from the null role of secondary wall-type CesAs, included in a set of five primary wall-type CesAs that may support trichome cell wall thickening.
