High impact information on UGE1

The Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) mutant root hair defective1 (rhd1) lacks a functional UDP-glucose 4-epimerase gene, UGE4, which is involved in channeling UDP-D-galactose (UDP-D-Gal) into cell wall polymers [1].
In Arabidopsis, mutation of RHD1, a UDP-glucose-4-epimerase, causes root-specific phenotypes, including hypersusceptibility to the cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii, increased root hair elongation, decreased root length, and root epidermal bulging [2].
Mutation of a UDP-glucose-4-epimerase alters nematode susceptibility and ethylene responses in Arabidopsis roots [2].
