New Phytologist, Volume 244, Issue 3, Page 1024-1040, November 2024.Summary Polysaccharide structural complexity not only influences cell wall strength and extensibility but also hinders pathogenic and biotechnological attempts to saccharify the wall. In certain species and tissues, glucuronic acid side groups on xylan exhibit arabinopyranose or galactose decorations whose genetic and evolutionary basis is completely ...

Glycomolecules: from “sweet immunity” to “sweet biostimulation”?
Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 176, Issue 6, November/December 2024.Abstract Climate changes and environmental contaminants are daunting challenges that require an urgent change from current agricultural practices to sustainable agriculture. Biostimulants are natural solutions that adhere to the principles of organic farming and are believed to have low impacts on the environment and human health.

The Plant Journal, Volume 120, Issue 3, Page 1159-1175, November 2024.Significance Statement In seed plants, phenolic polymers contribute to the cell wall properties required for a terrestrial lifestyle; however, knowledge is lacking on the contribution of phenolics to cell walls in other plant lineages. Here, we show the auronidin flavonoid pigments of liverworts are likely present in the wall as an entrapped polymer ...

The Plant Journal, Volume 120, Issue 1, Page 234-252, October 2024.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 ...

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 86, Issue 5, May 2024.“Percentage of feeding observations of Prolemur simus on bamboo and non‐bamboo resources across three study sites” Abstract The degree of dietary flexibility in primates is species specific; some incorporate a wider array of resources than others. Extreme interannual weather variability in Madagascar results in seasonal resource scarcity which has been

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 47, Issue 5, Page 1747-1768, May 2024.Abstract The plant cell wall is a plastic structure of variable composition that constitutes the first line of defence against environmental challenges. Lodging and drought are two stressful conditions that severely impact maize yield. In a previous work, we characterised the cell walls of two maize inbreds, EA2024 (susceptible) and B73 (resistant) to ...

New Phytologist, Volume 242, Issue 2, Page 524-543, April 2024.Summary The Poaceae family of plants provides cereal crops that are critical for human and animal nutrition, and also, they are an important source of biomass. Interacting plant cell wall components give rise to recalcitrance to digestion; thus, understanding the wall molecular architecture is important to improve biomass properties.

The legacy of terrestrial plant evolution on cell wall fine structure
Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 1238-1254, April 2024.Abstract The evolution of land flora was an epochal event in the history of planet Earth. The success of plants, and especially flowering plants, in colonizing all but the most hostile environments required multiple mechanisms of adaptation. The mainly polysaccharide‐based cell walls of flowering plants, which are indispensable for water transport and ...

Nuclear phylogenomics of angiosperms and insights into their relationships and evolution
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 66, Issue 3, Page 546-578, March 2024.This review synthesizes numerous nuclear phylogenomic analyses of angiosperms (analyses that resolved the relationships of major clades, most orders, and many families and subgroups) and discusses the improved understanding of angiosperm biogeography, diversification dynamics, and character evolution.
