Probing the molecular architecture of Arabidopsis thaliana secondary cell walls using two- and three-dimensional 13C solid state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy [PDF]
The plant secondary cell wall is a thickened polysaccharide and phenolic structure, providing mechanical strength to cells, particularly in woody tissues. It is the main feedstock for the developing bioenergy and green chemistry industries.

Hormonal regulation of secondary cell wall formation [PDF]
Secondary cell walls (SCWs) have critical functional importance but also constitute a high proportion of the plant biomass and have high application potential. This is true mainly for the lignocellulosic constituents of the SCWs in xylem vessels and fibres, which form a structured layer between the plasma membrane and the primary cell wall (PCW ...

Metabolism of Stone Fruits: Reciprocal Contribution Between Primary Metabolism and Cell Wall
Cell wall turnover and modification in its composition are key factors during stone fruit development and patterning. Changes in cell wall disassembly and reassembly are essential for fruit growth and ripening.

Ectopic Expression of PtoMYB74 in Poplar and Arabidopsis Promotes Secondary Cell Wall Formation
In vascular plants, R2R3-MYB transcription factors are important regulators of secondary cell wall formation. Although 192 annotated R2R3 MYB genes were identified in the poplar genome, only a few members were characterized to participate in the ...

Regulation of secondary cell wall biosynthesis by a NAC transcription factor from Miscanthus
Cell wall recalcitrance is a major limitation for the sustainable exploitation of lignocellulosic biomass as a renewable resource. Species and hybrids of the genus Miscanthus have emerged as candidate crops for the production of lignocellulosic feedstock
