Unraveling mannan biosynthesis in poplar and spruce: functional characterization of Cellulose Synthase-Like family A (CSLA) genes. [PDF]
Summary Hemicelluloses are key chemical constituents of plant cell walls, influencing structure, strength, and interactions between cellulose and lignin. While xylan has been widely studied and shown to affect cell wall integrity, the function of mannan remains largely unexplored.

Profiling of oligolignols reveals monolignol coupling conditions in lignifying poplar xylem [PDF]
Lignin is an aromatic heteropolymer, abundantly present in the walls of secondary thickened cells. Although much research has been devoted to the structure and composition of the polymer to obtain insight into lignin polymerization, the low-molecular ...

Daily variations of water use with vapor pressure deficit in a plantation of I214 poplars. [PDF]
Daily rates of whole tree water use were measured in a homogeneous 7-year-old plantation over 84 days. Two trees were selected in the two most contrasting ends, i.e., with mean water table at -1.5 m and -3.5 m. Results showed that the mean tree water use

Aureimonas populi sp. nov., isolated from poplar tree bark
Two novel bacterial strains (4M3-2T and 10-107-7) were isolated from poplar tree bark. The strains were Gram-stain-negative facultative aerobes, and produced short rods that were motile because of polar flagella. A phylogenetic tree was reconstructed based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicating that the two novel strains are related to species of the ...

The genome sequence and effector complement of the flax rust pathogen Melampsora lini [PDF]
Rust fungi cause serious yield reductions on crops, including wheat, barley, soybean, coffee, and represent real threats to global food security. Of these fungi, the flax rust pathogen Melampsora lini has been developed most extensively over the past 80 ...

Factors influencing the nematode community during composting and nematode-based criteria for compost maturity [PDF]
Pilot studies indicate that shifts in the nematode species composition, life strategies and feeding behavior during composting appear to be fairly consistent and, therefore, promising as a potential tool to assess compost maturity. However, this has been

Devaluation of poplar products by sapstain accounts for huge and unpredictable losses each year in China. We had isolated four poplar sapstain fungi, Ceratocystis adiposa Hz91, Lasiodiplodia theobromae YM0737, L. theobromae Fx46, and Fusarium sp.
