The plasticisation model of dye diffusion: Part 7

Coloration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Re‐evaluation using the Williams‐Landel‐Ferry equation, of exhaustion/fixation/adsorption data previously reported for four classes of anionic dye onto three different types of wool substrate, revealed that thermally activated dyeing/desorption behaviour is governed by the thermally regulated structural relaxation times of the respective water‐

Commercial application of cellulose nano-composites – A review

Biotechnology Reports, 2019
Cellulose is the biosynthetic product from plants, animals and bacteria. Cellulose is the most abundant polymer having long linear chain like structure composed of (1,4) linked β-D glucopyranosyl units assembled into hierarchical structures of ...

Modelling stomatal mechanics: a critical review

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The biomechanics of stomatal movements have fascinated scientists for almost 150 yr, yet we still lack a conclusive and coherent mechanistic understanding of the process. In this review, we present a framework that allows critical insight into the state of knowledge of stomatal biomechanics, with a focus on modelling approaches.

Extraction of cellulose nanofibrils from pine sawdust by integrated chemical pretreatment

Heliyon
Reducing energy consumption is major challenge in the industrialization of chemical pretreatments for the extraction of cellulose nanofibrils (CNF). In this study, an integrated chemical pretreatment with alkaline/acid-chlorite/TEMPO-oxidant was used for

Access to cellulose limits the efficiency of enzymatic hydrolysis: the role of amorphogenesis

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2010
The efficient enzymatic saccharification of cellulose at low cellulase (protein) loadings continues to be a challenge for commercialization of a process for bioconversion of lignocellulose to ethanol.

From recognition to response: integrated signaling pathways determining pollen acceptance and rejection in Brassicaceae

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Generation of competent offspring is vital for the prosperity of flowering plants. The pistil not only functions as a conduit for pollen tubes to grow to the ovary but also provides a selective venue for facilitating the growth of compatible pollen tubes and discouraging invaders and incompatible pollen.

Deciphering the molecular functions of sterols in cellulose biosynthesis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012
Sterols play vital roles in plant growth and development, as components of membranes and as precursors to steroid hormones. Analysis of Arabidopsis mutants indicates that sterol composition is crucial for cellulose biosynthesis. Sterols are widespread in

Dissecting the Cell‐Type‐Specific Response to an Emerging Tobamovirus in Tomato Reveals Cultivar‐Dependent Involvement of Brassinosteroid Signalling

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant viruses drive widespread crop epidemics, yet the host plant responses across different cell types, particularly how these responses are influenced by cultivars with varying genetic backgrounds, including the presence of resistance (R) genes, remain poorly understood. Using tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) and two tomato cultivars,

Structural studies of a fucogalactoxyloglucan from pinus radiata primary cell walls : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry at Massey University [PDF]

, 1980
1. The changes in carbohydrate composition of elongating Pinus radiata primary cell walls were investigated. In the hemicellulose B extracts, a large increase in the percentage of non-starch, non-cellulosic, glucose was found to occur on cessation of ...
