Plant cell walls to ethanol

Biochemical Journal, 2012
Conversion of plant cell walls to ethanol constitutes second generation bioethanol production. The process consists of several steps: biomass selection/genetic modification, physiochemical pretreatment, enzymatic saccharification, fermentation and separation.

Plant cell expansion: Scaling the wall

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 1998
The regulation of plant cell size and shape is poorly understood at the molecular level. Recently, two loci required for normal cell expansion in Arabidopsis were cloned. They both encode enzymes involved in the construction of the cell wall. These studies are the first promising examples of the use of Arabidopsis molecular genetics for the study of ...

PLANT CELL WALL PROTEINS

Annual Review of Plant Physiology and Plant Molecular Biology, 1998
▪ Abstract  The nature of cell wall proteins is as varied as the many functions of plant cell walls. With the exception of glycine-rich proteins, all are glycosylated and contain hydroxyproline (Hyp). Again excepting glycine-rich proteins, they also contain highly repetitive sequences that can be shared between them. The majority of cell wall proteins

Atomic force microscopy of plant cell walls, plant cell wall polysaccharides and gels

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 1997
Methods developed for the routine imaging of polysaccharides by atomic force microscopy (AFM) have been used to image plant polysaccharides from higher plants (pectin) and algae (carrageenan). These methods have been extended to image K-carrageenan association in hydrated films.

Plant Cell-Walls

1984
Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of plant cell-walls. The cell wall is an envelope that encases the plant cell. The wall must be rigid enough to give the plant strength and form, and yet, if necessary, it must yield freely to facilitate growth.

Biosynthesis of plant cell wall polysaccharides

The FASEB Journal, 1994
The cell wall is the principal structural element of plant form. Cellulose, long crystals of several dozen glucan chains, forms the microfibrillar foundation of plant cell walls and is synthesized at the plasma membrane. Except for callose, all other noncellulosic components are secreted to the cell surface and form a porous matrix

Wall Organization in Plant Cells

1959
Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of the more recent evidence concerning the constitution of microfibrils in plant cell walls. The first formed wall, developed within 2 hours of the settling of a swarmer, consists of rather sparse microfibrils widely separated and in random arrangement.

Advances in Imaging Plant Cell Walls

Trends in Plant Science, 2019
Understanding of cell wall architecture, including the crosslinking of cell wall polymers, provides crucial information for elucidating the relationship between cell wall structure and cell function. Moreover, examination of the cell wall informs efforts to improve biomass breakdown in bioreactor conditions.
