4.3 Hydrolases
Polysaccharide hydrolases represent some of the most extensive collection
of gene families known in plants. Although enzymatic activities have been
demonstrated in many homologues from other plants, a systematic survey of
the activities of each class and family member remains a major undertaking.
Because the catalytic activity still needs to be established for most of the
members, they have been classified according to phylogenies established by
Henrissat and colleagues at CAZY.
