Abstract：In this study,twenty-one cellulose synthase genes( CesA) from Arabidopsis and rice were ana-lyzed in their structures,conservative motifs,protein transmembrane helices,protein subcellular locations and gene expressions. The results showed that the size of CesA ranged from 3. 5 to 6. 5 kb,with 7—13 small introns(except OsCesA10). CesA had highly conserved structure with the family domain “Ring fin-ger”( except OsCesA10 and OsCesA11 ) and “Cellulose synthase”. The number of protein transmembrane helices in Arabidopsis and rice was 6 or 8 ( except OsCesA10 ) , respectively. The subcellular locations showed that the 21 CesA proteins were all located on the membranes. Most of the AtCesA genes expressed in young root, young leaves and calluses, whereas most of the OsCesA expressed only in young root or young leaves.
