High impact information on XTH33

This suggests that XTH33 is involved in protecting plants against aphids; therefore, that cell wall modification can alter the preference of aphids for a particular plant [1].
Involvement of the xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/hydrolases encoded by celery XTH1 and Arabidopsis XTH33 in the phloem response to aphids [1].
In ZIM-overexpressing plants, XTH33 which is predicted to function in cell wall modification was detected as an up-regulated gene by microarray analysis, and this could account for the elongation phenotype [2].
