Resonant soft X-ray scattering reveals cellulose microfibril spacing in plant primary cell walls

Scientific Reports, 2018
Cellulose microfibrils are crucial for many of the remarkable mechanical properties of primary cell walls. Nevertheless, many structural features of cellulose microfibril organization in cell walls are not yet fully described.

Overproduction of native endo-β-1,4-glucanases leads to largely enhanced biomass saccharification and bioethanol production by specific modification of cellulose features in transgenic rice

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2019
Background Genetic modification of plant cell walls has been implemented to reduce lignocellulosic recalcitrance for biofuel production. Plant glycoside hydrolase family 9 (GH9) comprises endo-β-1,4-glucanase in plants.

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

The plasticisation model of dye diffusion: Part 7

Coloration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Re‐evaluation using the Williams‐Landel‐Ferry equation, of exhaustion/fixation/adsorption data previously reported for four classes of anionic dye onto three different types of wool substrate, revealed that thermally activated dyeing/desorption behaviour is governed by the thermally regulated structural relaxation times of the respective water‐

Progress and Opportunities in the Characterization of Cellulose – An Important Regulator of Cell Wall Growth and Mechanics

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
The plant cell wall is a dynamic network of several biopolymers and structural proteins including cellulose, pectin, hemicellulose and lignin. Cellulose is one of the main load bearing components of this complex, heterogeneous structure, and in this way,

Structural studies of a fucogalactoxyloglucan from pinus radiata primary cell walls : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry at Massey University [PDF]

, 1980
1. The changes in carbohydrate composition of elongating Pinus radiata primary cell walls were investigated. In the hemicellulose B extracts, a large increase in the percentage of non-starch, non-cellulosic, glucose was found to occur on cessation of ...

Teleost‐specific ictacalcins exhibit similar structural organization, cation‐dependent activation, and transcriptional regulation as human S100 proteins

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Calcium‐binding S100 proteins are important mediators of inflammation in humans. Distant members of this family have been recently discovered in teleost fish but their resemblance to human proteins has not been explored yet. This study demonstrates that zebrafish‐specific S100i1 and S100i2 (ictacalcins) possess identical structural organization and ...
