Enzyme discovery through functional genomics techniques, such as cDNA microarray analysis, is spotlighting particular carbohydrate-active enzymes which play a role in cell wall growth and development in wood-forming tissues. The cloning and heterologous expression of these enzymes is facilitating their study on a fundamental level, which lays the groundwork for advanced biotechnological applications.}, issn = {1024-2422}, doi = {10.1080/1024-2420310001618492}, author = {Teeri, TT and Brumer, H} }
