Cell wall-related glycosyltransferases and wall architecture in the model liverwort Marchantia polymorpha. [PDF]
SUMMARY The liverwort Marchantia polymorpha has emerged as an important plant model for developmental studies and may become central to elucidate the complex process of cell wall polysaccharide biosynthesis. This study comprehensively analyses the composition and structure of cell wall glycans across eight different M. polymorpha tissue types.

Identification of glycosyltransferases mediating 2-O-arabinopyranosyl and 2-O-galactosyl substitutions of glucuronosyl side chains of xylan. [PDF]
SUMMARY Xylan is one of the major hemicelluloses in plant cell walls and its xylosyl backbone is often decorated at O‐2 with glucuronic acid (GlcA) and/or methylglucuronic acid (MeGlcA) residues. The GlcA/MeGlcA side chains may be further substituted with 2‐O‐arabinopyranose (Arap) or 2‐O‐galactopyranose (Gal) residues in some plant species, but the ...

Plastid genomes and deep relationships among the commelinid monocot angiosperms [PDF]
AbstractThe commelinid monocots comprise the orders Arecales (A), Commelinales (C), Poales sensu Angiosperm Phylogeny Group III (APGIII) (P), Zingiberales (Z), plus the unplaced family Dasypogonaceae (D), collectively containing numerous economically and ecologically important species and encompassing enormous morphological diversity.

Chromosome numbers and polyploidy events in Korean non-commelinids monocots: A contribution to plant systematics [PDF]
The evolution of chromosome numbers and the karyotype structure is a prominent feature of plant genomes contributing to or at least accompanying plant diversification and eventually leading to speciation. Polyploidy, the multiplication of whole chromosome sets, is widespread and ploidy-level variation is frequent at all taxonomic levels, including ...

We’re good to grow: Dynamic integration of cell wall architecture with the machinery of growth
Despite differences in cell wall composition between the type I cell walls of dicots and most monocots and the type II walls of commelinid monocots, all flowering plants respond to the same classes of growth regulators in the same tissue-specific way and

Lignin plays a fundamental role in plant growth and protection, being also a major obstacle for conversion of crop residues into ethanol. Recently, our group have shown that when young crops (sugarcane, soybean, maize, and brachiaria) are sprayed with selected lignin inhibitors, cell walls biosynthesis undergoes a long‐term modification in its ...

Seed fossil record of Solanaceae revisited
Abstract The fossil record for Solanaceae has a complex taxonomic history, with many species originally described in the family being subsequently shown to belong in other plant families. In this work, we present an in‐depth analysis of the nightshade seed fossil record, which corresponds to the largest amount of fossil material for the family.

Enzymatic Oxidation of Carbohydrate Byproducts for Use in Formation of Chitosan Hydrogels
Carbohydrates, i.e., xylooligosaccharides derived from corn cobs and lactose derived from dairy byproducts, were selectively oxidized using fungal oxidoreductases AbPDH1 (pyranose dehydrogenase from Agaricus bisporus) and FgrGalOx (galactose oxidase from Fusarium graminearum).
