Abstract:
1. An isolated cellulose synthase product produced from the method of processing of plant tissues expressing an isolated polynucleotide encoding a functional cellulose synthase, the method comprising: a) transforming a plant cell with a recombinant expression cassette comprising a polynucleotide having at least 95% sequence identity to the full length sequence of a polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO: 13, operably linked to a promoter; and b) culturing the transformed plant cell under plant cell growing conditions;  wherein the level of cellulose synthase in said transformed plant cell is modulated; c) growing the plant cell under plant-forming conditions to express the polynucleotide in the plant tissue; and d) processing the plant tissue to obtain a cellulose synthase product.
