Abstract
Recently Schunmann et al, (1997; Plant, Cell and Environment 20, 1439-1450) investigated the correlation of spatial patterns of xyloglucan-endotransgl ycosylase (XET) activity, XET-related mRNAs, and growth in elongating barle y (Hordeum vulgare L.) leaves. Here, methodological difficulties in the kin ematic growth analysis are discussed, and it is concluded that the role tha t XET-related gene activity plays in the control of spatial growth patterns remains undetermined.
