Patent ID: 6930225

Claim:
An isolated polynucleotide selected from the group consisting of: (a) a polynucleotide having at least 90% sequence identity, as determined by the GAP algorithm under default parameters, to the full length sequence of a polynucleotide selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 25, 27 and 29; wherein the polynucleotide encodes a functional cellulose synthase. (b) a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 26, 28, and 30. (c) a polynucleotide selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 25, 27, and 29. (d) a polynucleotide which is complementary to the polynucleotide of (a), (b), or (c).
