    Also known as
    IRREGULAR XYLEM 9; T2N18.15; T2N18_15
    Summary
    The IRX9 gene encodes a putative family 43 glycosyl transferase. It was coordinately expressed with the cellulose synthase subunits during secondary cell wall formation. Cell wall analysis revealed a decrease in the abundance of xylan in the irx9 mutant, indicating that IRX9 is required for xylan synthesis. Mutants have irregular xylem phenotype suggesting a role in secondary cell wall biosynthesis.
