Structure and function of class III pistil-specific extensin-like protein in interspecific reproductive barriers

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background The transmitting tissue of the style is the pathway for pollen tube growth to the ovules and has components that function in recognizing and discriminating appropriate pollen genotypes. In Nicotiana tabacum, the class III pistil extensin-like (

Beyond Gut Modulation: A Critical Review of the Therapeutic Potential, Safety, and Clinical Prospects of Natural Polysaccharides for IBD

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
In this review, we critically summarized the application of natural polysaccharides (NPs) for the treatment of IBD. This approach combines, in a unique way (right), the basic structure–activity relationships of NPs from different origins (left) with their multipronged mode of action, which involves modulation of the gut microbiota and other ...

The Characterization of a New AG-II-like Glycoprotein from Cynanchum thesioides (Freyn) K. Schum and Its Immunostimulatory Activity Through Activation of TLR4/9-Mediated MAPK/NF-κB Signaling Pathways

Current Issues in Molecular Biology
The structural and immunomodulatory properties of arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) from edible medicinal plants remain largely unexplored. Here, A homogenous AG-II-like arabinogalactan protein (CTSP-W2, 9862 Da) was isolated from Cynanchum thesioides via ...

Emulsifying properties of Acacia senegal gum: Impact of high molar mass protein-rich AGPs

Food Chemistry: X, 2020
The impact of high molar mass protein-rich arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) on emulsifying properties of Acacia senegal gums were studied using reconstituted gums obtained with two distinct fractions: one containing these specific high molar mass AGPs and

Arabinogalactan proteins – Multifunctional glycoproteins of the plant cell wall

The Cell Surface, 2023
Arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) are cell wall glycoproteins that make up a relatively small component of the extracellular matrix of plants yet have significant influence on wall mechanics and signalling.

The plant microbiome: From ecological foundations to precision microbial engineering for sustainable agriculture

iMeta, EarlyView.
From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial

Two β-glucuronosyltransferases involved in the biosynthesis of type II arabinogalactans function in mucilage polysaccharide matrix organization in Arabidopsis thaliana

BMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background Arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) are heavily glycosylated with type II arabinogalactan (AG) polysaccharides attached to hydroxyproline residues in their protein backbone.
