Over-expression of EXLA2 resulted in an increase of >10% in the length of dark-grown hypocotyls and in slightly thicker walls in non-rapidly elongating etiolated hypocotyl cells. Over-expression may decrease the wall strength in arabidopsis hypocotyls.

EXLA2 appears to be important in response to various biotic and abiotic stresses.
