A novel FC116/BC10 mutation distinctively causes alteration in the expression of the genes for cell wall polymer synthesis in rice

We report isolation and characterization of a fragile culm mutant fc116 that displays reduced mechanical strength caused by decreased cellulose content and altered cell wall structure in rice. Map-based cloning revealed that fc116 was a base substitution mutant (G to A) in a putative beta-1,6-N-acet...
