Polygalacturonase activity promotes aberrant cell separation in the quasimodo2 mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana

The Cell Surface, 2022
In plants, cell adhesion relies on balancing the integrity of the pectin-rich middle lamella with wall loosening during tissue expansion. Mutation of QUASIMODO2 (QUA2), a pectin methyltransferase, causes defective hypocotyl elongation and cell adhesion ...

Preparation of Nitrogen and Sulfur Co-Doped Fluorescent Carbon Dots from Cellulose Nanocrystals as a Sensor for the Detection of Rutin

Molecules, 2022
The poor water solubility, large particle size, and low accessibility of cellulose, the most abundant bioresource, have restricted its generalization to carbon dots (CDs).

Clarification and reprogramming of glucose and xylose metabolism in <i>Sphingomonas sanxanigenens</i> for efficient sanxan biosynthesis. [PDF]

mLife
Abstract Currently, the production of high‐value chemicals from natural lignocellulose is of great significance for a circular economy. In this study, a robust platform was developed based on Sphingomonas sanxanigenens NXdP, which co‐utilizes glucose and xylose to synthesize polysaccharide sanxan, for efficient bioconversion of lignocellulose‐derived ...

Exploiting the inter-strain divergence of Fusarium oxysporum for microbial bioprocessing of lignocellulose to bioethanol [PDF]

, 2012
peer-reviewedMicrobial bioprocessing of lignocellulose to bioethanol still poses challenges in terms of substrate catabolism. A targeted evolution-based study was undertaken to determine if inter-strain microbial variability could be exploited for ...

Preparation of Onion Epidermal Cell Walls for Imaging by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)

Bio-Protocol, 2017
The growing plant cell wall is comprised of long, thin cellulose microfibrils embedded in a hydrated matrix of polysaccharides and glycoproteins. These components are typically constructed in layers (lamellae) on the inner surface of the cell wall, i.e.,
