A MYB61‐SWB9‐KOs module regulates grain chalkiness via gibberellin biosynthesis in rice endosperm

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Grain chalkiness leads to the deterioration of grain appearance quality, which affects grain processing quality and the market value of rice. Gibberellin plays a crucial role in seed germination and plant growth, but its mechanism on endosperm starch synthesis and rice grain chalkiness formation remains largely elusive.

Current understanding of the role of the cell wall in Cuscuta parasitism

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
We comprehensively summarise the roles of plant cell wall in key processes of parasitism by the obligate stem parasite Cuscuta. Abstract The plant cell wall (CW) plays a crucial role in many aspects of parasitism by the obligate stem parasite, Cuscuta. Cuscuta parasitism begins with tight coiling around the host stem by the strong tensile force of the ...

Multiscale structure of cellulose microfibrils in regenerated cellulose fibers

Carbohydrate Polymers
Cellulose in solution can be assembled into textile fibers by wet-spinning (Viscose etc.) or dry-jet wet spinning (Lyocell, Ioncell etc.), which leads to significant differences in the mechanical properties of fibers. We use scanning X-ray microdiffraction (SXM) to reveal regenerated fibers having a "skin-core" morphology.

Interface Alterations in Cellulose Synthases Redefine CESA Complex Assembly to Enhance Cellulosic Biomass Production

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2025.
We analyze sequence‐structure–function relationships, particularly interface mutations, in cellulose synthase (CESA) complexes (CSCs), which evolved from homomeric to heteromeric forms in seed plants. Heterologous expression of an evolutionarily divergent CESA minimizes interference with endogenous CSCs, promoting homomeric CSC formation and enhanced ...

Viscoelastic properties and flow instabilities of aqueous suspensions of cellulosic fibers [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Processing of concentrated lignocellulosic biomass suspensions typically involves the conversion of the cellulose into sugars and sugars into ethanol. Biomass is usually pre-processed (i.e. via comminution, steam explosion, etc.) to form fine cellulosic fibers to be dispersed into an aqueous phase for further treatment.

Disassembling of TEMPO-oxidized cellulose fibers: intersheet and interchain interactions in the isolation of nanofibers and unitary chains [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Cellulose disassembly is an important issue in designing nanostructures using cellulose-based materials. In this work, we present a joint of experimental and theoretical study addressing the disassembly of cellulose nanofibrils. Through 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) mediated oxidation processes, combined with atomic force microscopy ...

A Bio‐Inspired Perspective on Materials Sustainability

Advanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 22, June 5, 2025.
This perspective discusses natural materials as inspiration for sustainable engineering designs and the processing of materials. First, circularity, longevity, parsimony, and activity are presented as essential material paradigms. The perspective then uses many examples of natural and technical materials to introduce principles such as oligo ...

Nanocellulose from Diseased Coconut Wood Biomass

CORD, 2014
Cellulose is the most widespread biopolymer on earth. In biosynthesis, cellulose polymers aggregate to form substructures, microfibrils, which in turn aggregate to form cellulose fibers.
