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.

Ultrastructural properties of ciliary zonule microfibrils

Journal of Structural Biology, 2002
Conventional electron microscopy and rotary shadowing techniques have provided conflicting interpretations of microfibril ultrastructure. To address this issue, we have used quick-freeze deep-etch (QFDE) microscopy to obtain 3-dimensional surface views of microfibrils that have not been fixed, dehydrated, or stained with heavy metals. By this approach,

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 Phenotypic and Genotypic Features of ADAMTSL4‐Related Ocular Disease

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
ADAMTSL4‐related ocular disease tends to present at a younger age and be associated with higher myopia than other forms of ectopia lentis (such as FBN1). A previously reported 20‐bp deletion (c.767_786del) was highly prevalent in this cohort (23/32), and all ectopia lentis et pupillae cases carried this variant. ABSTRACT Pathogenic variants in ADAMTSL4

Novel high-consistency forming of all-cellulose composites: The role of sodium hydroxide solvent system on fiber swelling/dissolution and composite properties

Industrial Crops and Products
In this study, we introduce a novel manufacturing technique for producing all-cellulose composites (ACCs) using a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solvent system during a roll-forming process.

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,
