Cell:cell adhesion in sweet cherry fruit primarily due to pectins [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceRain cracking limits the production of sweet cherries wherever they are grown. Cracking occurs by the separation of neighboring cells along their cell walls (by cell:cell separation).

Improvement of β‐Xylosidase and Endoxylanase Activities in Talaromyces amestolkiae by Genetic Manipulation of the Transcriptional Activator XlnR [PDF]
Microbial BiotechnologyThe ascomycete Talaromyces amestolkiae is a promising source of glycosyl hydrolases for hemicellulose degradation, as it contains a considerably higher number of genes encoding these enzymes than other fungi exploited for plant biomass valorisation.
