Abstract: By using a positional cloning technique, a single gene causing
the ACW2 mutation, which results in abnormalities in plant cell wall
synthesis and development/differentiation, has been successfully
identified over a broad chromosomal region and isolated. Since the
 ACW2  gene thus isolated affects plant cell wall synthesis and
development/differentiation, the present inventors discovered that
the plant cell wall can be modified or the development/differentiation
can be regulated by targeting the  ACW2  gene, or genes analogous thereto.
