Abstract Background: The cellulose synthase superfamily has been classified into nine cellulose synthase- like (Csl) families and one cellulose synthase (CesA) family. The Csl families have been proposed to be involved in the synthesis of the backbones of hemicelluloses of plant cell walls. With 17 plant and algal genomes ful
