Vertex-element models for anisotropic growth of elongated plant organs

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
New tools are required to address the challenge of relating plant hormone levels, hormone responses, wall biochemistry and wall mechanical properties to organ-scale growth. Current vertex-based models (applied in other contexts) can be unsuitable for

Agro-materials : a bibliographic review [PDF]

, 2002
Facing the problems of plastic recycling and fossil resources exhaustion, the use of biomass to conceive new materials appears like a reasonable solution.

Structure of Cellulose Microfibrils in Primary Cell Walls from Collenchyma1[C][W][OA]

Plant Physiology, 2012
In the primary walls of growing plant cells, the glucose polymer cellulose is assembled into long microfibrils a few nanometers in diameter. The rigidity and orientation of these microfibrils control cell expansion; therefore, cellulose synthesis is a ...

Cellulose microfibril-water interaction as characterized by isothermal thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy [PDF]

BioResources, 2012
Microfibrillated celluloses, liberated from macroscopic lignocellulosic fibers by mechanical means, are sub-fiber elements with lengths in the micron scale and diameters ranging from 10 to a few hundred nanometers. These materials have shown strong water

Cellulose biosynthesis in plants - the concerted action of CESA and non-CESA proteins

Biologia Plantarum, 2020
Cellulose is the most abundant polysaccharide produced by plants. In the form of rigid microfibrils surrounding the cells, cellulose constitutes the load-bearing cell wall element that controls cell growth and shape.

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.

The influence of draw ratio on morphology and thermal properties of MFCs based on PP and PET [PDF]

, 2016
The main goal of this study is to investigate the influence of draw ratio on morphology and properties in microfibrillar composites (MFCs). In situ MFCs based on polypropylene (PP) and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) have been prepared at the weight ...

Unraveling cellulose microfibrils: a twisted tale.

Biopolymers, 2013
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of cellulose microfibrils are pertinent to the paper, textile, and biofuels industries for their unique capacity to characterize dynamic behavior and atomic-level interactions with solvent molecules and cellulase ...
