Comment	The BC1 protein is homologous to Arabidopsis COBRA family members. Deficiency in BC1 causes the altered biosynthesis of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, leading to a reduction in the secondary cell wall thickness and the brittle stem (sulm). It is expressed mainly in developing sclerenchyma cells and in vascular bundles. Leaves, culms, and panicles are so brittle in both green and mature stages that they break off at the slightest pressure. Comparatively lower content of alpha-cellulose in its cell wall. No noticeable differences in water, crude protein, crude fiber, silica and pentosan content from normal. (Imported from Gene GR:0060068)
