Staining of Callose Depositions in Root and Leaf Tissues
Bio-Protocol, 2015 The plant cell wall is a physical barrier, which fulfills a plethora of functions, for example it can efficiently prevent pathogen’s entry into the cell. In addition, its changing composition contributes to plants inducible defense mechanisms. This layer

Application of Different Drying Methods on β-Glucan Isolated from Spent Brewer’s Yeast Using Alkaline Procedure [PDF]
, 2010 Water-insoluble (particulate) β-glucan was isolated from the cell walls of spent brewer’s yeast using a single-step alkaline treatment. To stabilize β-glucan water suspensions, sonication was successfully applied. Three different drying methods were used:
