non-LTR retrotransposon family (LINE), has a 9.6e-34 P-value blast match to GB:NP_038607 L1 repeat, Tf subfamily, member 9 (LINE-element) (Mus musculus)
EXGT-A3 has homology to xyloglucan endotransglucosylases/hydrolases (XTHs). Mutants in this gene show a lesion mimic phenotype associated with leaf maturation and a reduction in the number of tertiary veins. Individual tracheary elements in the mutants are shorter, but phloem transport activity is not severely affected. EXGT-A3 plays a role in xyloglucan degradation in the differentiating tracheary elements of rosette leaves.
