Isolation of cellulose microfibrils - An enzymatic approach

BioResources, 2006
Isolation methods and applications of cellulose microfibrils are expanding rapidly due to environmental benefits and specific strength properties, especially in bio-composite science. In this research, we have success-fully developed and explored a novel

Structural insights into xyloglucan recognition by an ABC transporter from a Gram‐positive, thermophilic bacterium

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Athe_2052 is an ABC transporter substrate‐binding protein that recognizes xyloglucan heptasaccharide (XXXG), a soluble breakdown product of plant xyloglucan. The crystal structure of Athe_2052, together with binding assays and computational modeling, shows how XXXG is recognized by this sugar transporter.

Evidence for regulation of transpiration in nonstomatal plants: insights from bryophyte gametophytes

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Kinetics of cell wall water vapor potential (Ψcw) and resistance of cell wall and plasmatic membrane to water flux in response to cytoplasmic water potential (Ψcyt) during dehydration. Ψcyt was calculated from the WC at any moment of the dehydration curve by using the relationship between −1/Ψw and WC of pressure volume curves and assuming Ψw = Ψcyt ...

The influence of the microfibril angle on wood stiffness: a continuum micromechanics approach

Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science, 2022
Wood exhibits an intrinsic structural hierarchy. It is composed of wood cells, which are hollow tubes oriented in the stem direction. The cell wall is built up by stiff cellulose fibrils which are embedded in a soft polymer matrix.

The preprophase band is dispensable for robust cell division orientation in wood‐forming cambium stem cells

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Characterization of periclinal and anticlinal cell divisions in dividing cambium stem cells (CSCs). (a) Scheme indicating periclinal and anticlinal cell divisions in CSCs in the Arabidopsis hypocotyl. The orange dashed ring in the middle panel represents the cambium area. The orange cuboids represent individual CSCs.

Extreme Polyploidy Reveals Functional Trade‐Offs in Plant Drought Responses

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polyploidy shapes plant physiology and anatomy, yet the extent to which different ploidy levels influence drought responses remains unclear. Here, we investigated how ploidy affects cell‐level coordination and functional traits associated with water transport and retention.

Structural characterization and optimum machining parameters of jute/carbon fibre hybrid reinforced epoxy composite laminates

Polymer International, Volume 75, Issue 9, Page 804-817, September 2026.
Hybrid jute/carbon epoxy laminates have better mechanical performance and less drilling damage by the use of optimized stacking sequence and machining parameters. Abstract Three composite laminate systems were produced using the standard hand lay‐up method: jute‐fibre‐reinforced polymer (JFRP), carbon‐fibre‐reinforced polymer (CFRP) and a hybrid of the

Bioconversion and characterization of watermelon rind waste‐based microcrystalline cellulose: A green alternative to synthetic reinforcements

Polymer International, Volume 75, Issue 9, Page 818-831, September 2026.
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was extracted from watermelon rind using acid hydrolysis. MCC can be efficiently used as reinforcement in biofilms and biocomposites. Abstract The increasing accumulation of agricultural waste from watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) represents a substantial environmental concern, particularly in view of the extensive ...
