DEFECTIVE KERNEL1 regulates cellulose synthesis and affects primary cell wall mechanics
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 The cell wall is one of the defining features of plants, controlling cell shape, regulating growth dynamics and hydraulic conductivity, as well as mediating plants interactions with both the external and internal environments.

X-Ray Scattering Reveals Two Mechanisms of Cellulose Microfibril Degradation by Filamentous Fungi. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2022 Mushroom-forming fungi (Agaricomycetes) employ enzymatic and nonenzymatic cellulose degradation mechanisms, the latter presumably relying on Fenton-generated radicals.

The in silico study of the COBRA gene family in sugarcane related to potential biomass content
Menara Perkebunan, 2022 Sugarcane (Saccharum sp.) is potential as a biofuel and biomaterial source for its high cellulose content. Cellulose is the main constituent of the plant cell wall, as a linear chain arranged in a polysaccharide bundle, called cellulose microfibril.

Unraveling Cellulose Microfibrils: A Twisted Tale [PDF]
Biopolymers, 2013 ABSTRACTMolecular dynamics (MD) simulations of cellulose microfibrils are pertinent to the paper, textile, and biofuels industries for their unique capacity to characterize dynamic behavior and atomic‐level interactions with solvent molecules and cellulase enzymes.

Microfibrillated Cellulose Suspension and Its Electrorheology [PDF]
Polymers, 2019 Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) particles were synthesized by a low-pressure alkaline delignification process, and their shape and chemical structure were investigated by SEM and Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy, respectively. As a novel electrorheological (ER) material, the MFC particulate sample was suspended in insulating oil to ...

Molecular Insight into the Self-Assembly Process of Cellulose Iβ Microfibril
, 2022 The self-assembly process of β-D-glucose oligomers on the surface of cellulose Iβ microfibril involves crystallization, and this process is analyzed herein, in terms of the length and flexibility of the oligomer chain, by means of molecular dynamics (MD)
