ISOLATED CELL-WALL ENZYMES from different bacteria make cell-wall polymers with different chain lengths, even under chemically identical conditions, Harvard University researchers report (J. Am. Chem.
Cells of proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L. cv Abarr) in liquid culture and leaves of maize seedlings (Zea mays L. cv LH51 × LH1131) readily incorporated D-[U-14C]glucose and L-[U-14C]arabinose into ...
It has recently been proposed that H2O2-dependent peroxidative formation of phenolic cross-links between cell-wall polymers serves as a mechanism for fixing the viscoelastically extended wall ...
The secret of how fiber shapes the structure of plant cell walls has been revealed, with potentially wide-ranging applications ranging from nutrition and health to agriculture. Researchers from The ...
Plant cell wall growth is typically described as a simple process, but researchers using a microscope that can resolve images on the nanoscale level have observed something more complex. A close-up ...
How cells sense their physical state and compensate for cell wall damage is poorly understood. But a new analysis of plants exposed to salt stress offers the first experimental evidence and molecular ...
From left, Arijit Ghorai and Ho Yong Chung hold samples of lignin-based polyurethane. The research team used lignin and carbon dioxide to create a new kind of polyurethane that is biodegradable and ...
