INFLUENCE OF AUXIN ON CELL-WALL METABOLISM [PDF]
The plant hormone auxin (indole-3-acetic acid, IAA) controls rate of increase in size of the cells of many plant tissues. Thus, excised sections of the oat coleoptile respond to addition of the hormone by increasing more rapidly in length. It is known that the auxin-induced increase in cell volume of the oat section is immediately due to the uptake of ...

Effect of calcium on relieving berry cracking in grape (Vitis vinifera L.) ‘Xiangfei’ [PDF]
Fruit cracking is a physiological disorder in many plant species that leads to severe economic losses. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of calcium on fruit cracking and explore the underlying mechanisms.

Cell Wall Metabolism in Ripening Fruit [PDF]
;Bartlett' pear (Pyrus communis) fruits were picked at the mature, green stage and ripened at 20 C. Fruits at different stages of ripeness (based on flesh firmness) were homogenized, and the sugar and uronic acid contents of cell wall and soluble polysaccharides were determined.

A dive into the cell wall with Arabidopsis
One of the many legacies of the work of Michel Caboche is our understanding of plant cell wall synthesis and metabolism thanks to the use of Arabidopsis mutants. Here I describe how he was instrumental in initiating the genetic study of plant cell walls.

Constitutive expression of a grapevine polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein affects gene expression and cell wall properties in uninfected tobacco [PDF]
Background Polygalacturonase-inhibiting proteins (PGIPs) directly limit the effective ingress of fungal pathogens by inhibiting cell wall-degrading endopolygalacturonases (ePGs).

Cell Wall Metabolism in Ripening Fruit [PDF]
A gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric technique utilizing d-[U-(13)C]glucose as a density label tracer was used to follow the synthesis of cell wall polysaccharides in pericarp discs that were excised from mature green tomato fruit (Lycopersicon esculentum) and allowed to ripen in culture.

Carbohydrate utilization and metabolism is highly differentiated in Agaricus bisporus [PDF]
Background: Agaricus bisporus is commercially grown on compost, in which the available carbon sources consist mainly of plant-derived polysaccharides that are built out of various different constituent monosaccharides.

Effects of NO Fumigation on Cell Wall Metabolism in Lycium barbarum Fresh Fruit under Cold Storage
To explore the effect of NO fumigation on cell wall metabolism in Lycium barbarum fresh fruit under cold storage, “Ningqi No. 7” fresh Lycium barbarum fruit was used as the test material, and fumigated with 300 μL/L (0 μL/L NO as control) NO gas for 3 h,

Living with an imperfect cell wall: compensation of femAB inactivation in Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
Background: Synthesis of the Staphylococcus aureus peptidoglycan pentaglycine interpeptide bridge is catalyzed by the nonribosomal peptidyl transferases FemX, FemA and FemB.

The role of Rab GTPases in cell wall metabolism [PDF]
The synthesis and modification of the cell wall must involve the production of new cell wall polymers and enzymes. Their targeted secretion to the apoplast is one of many potential control points. Since Rab GTPases have been strongly implicated in the regulation of vesicle trafficking, a review of their involvement in cell wall metabolism should throw ...
