On the Origins of Toughness in Corymbia calophylla (Marri Tree) Nuts

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We uncover the natural toughening mechanisms of the marri nut, including fiber pullout, crack deflection, and a viscoelastic matrix, which enable exceptional energy absorption and ductility comparable to Teflon, with an elastic modulus similar to acrylic.

Integration of Spatiotemporal Multi‐Omics in Peach Fruit Unravels a Metabolic Niche and the Genetic Basis of Trichome‐Mediated Stress Adaptation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study constructed the first spatiotemporal multi‐omics map of peach fruit and discovered a key candidate gene that synergistically regulates trichome development and drought tolerance through the jasmonic acid signaling pathway, providing insights into the coupling mechanism between development and stress resistance.

Kinetic understanding of fiber surface lignin effects on cellulase adsorption and hydrolysis

open access: yesResults in Surfaces and Interfaces
Cellulase hydrolysis is strongly affected by adsorption, which is inhibited by the non-productive binding between cellulase and lignin. However, lignin-bonded cellulase has also been found to be active in hydrolysis. Thus, in this work, lignin effects on

Lignin [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
This books reports on lignins, irregular phenylpropane biopolymers that make up approximately 20-30% of the available polymeric content of hardwood tree stems. In plants, lignin is second in natural abundance only to cellulose. This material offers, therefore, a valuable resource that must be utilized if the full value of harvested tree crops is to be ...

Emergence of lignin-carbohydrate interactions during plant stem maturation visualized by solid-state NMR

open access: yesNature Communications
Lignification waterproofs and strengthens secondary plant cell walls but increases the energy cost of sugar release for biofuels. The physical association between lignin and the carbohydrate scaffold that accommodates lignin polymerization, along with ...
