Schematic model of PagKNAT5a-mediated xylem cell elongation and secondary cell wall formation. PagKNAT5a enhances longitudinal cell elongation in vascular tissues by modulating auxin accumulation. Furthermore, its physical interaction with MYB46 synergistically upregulates key genes involved in the lignin biosynthesis pathway.
