Model of engineering strategy. The xylan engineering strategy reintroduces xylan biosynthesis specifically into the xylem vessels of the xylan deficient irx7, irx8 and irx9 mutants. This is achieved through the expression of a functional allele of the defective irx gene under control of the vessel-specific pVND6 or pVND7 promoters.
