Encodes a xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase with only only the endotransglucosylase (XET; EC 2.4.1.207) activity towards xyloglucan and non-detectable endohydrolytic (XEH; EC 3.2.1.151) activity. Expressed in the mature or basal regions of both the main and lateral roots, but not in the tip of these roots where cell division occurs.
