The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Athe_2052 is an ABC transporter substrate‐binding protein that recognizes xyloglucan heptasaccharide (XXXG), a soluble breakdown product of plant xyloglucan. The crystal structure of Athe_2052, together with binding assays and computational modeling, shows how XXXG is recognized by this sugar transporter.

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2019 Background Cellulose and hemicellulose are the two largest components in lignocellulosic biomass. Enzymes with activities towards cellulose and xylan have attracted great interest in the bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass, since they have potential

Ecological and genomic variation in ectomycorrhizal fungal exploration types
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) produce mycelia with variable extension and complexity, which can be classified according to soil ‘exploration types’ (ETs). ETs have received attention as one of the few mycorrhizal trait frameworks, but without an empirical classification of ET functional diversity and environmental preferences, understanding and ...

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Hypothetical model of Paraburkholderia–EcMF–Bishop pine interactions. Summary Whether a widespread bacterial strain of Paraburkholderia can enhance the physiological responses of ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) and host Bishop pine seedling growth remains unclear. We developed a ‘top‐down meets bottom‐up’ approach that harmonized data from molecular field

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Ancestral lifestyle reconstruction across the phylogeny of the 107 analysed fungal genomes. Summary Dark septate endophytes (DSE) are widespread root‐colonising fungi with poorly understood lifestyle and ecological functions. We investigated their genomic traits, sexual reproduction signatures, carbohydrate‐active enzyme (CAZyme) and secondary ...

Biochemical Aspects of Non-Starch Polysaccharides
Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023 Polysaccharides are macromolecules of monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds. Non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) are principally non-α-glucan polysaccharides of the plant cell wall. They are a heterogeneous group of polysaccharides with varying degrees

A MYB‐Related Transcriptional Module Cooperatively Represses Xylem Development in Poplar
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT MYB transcription factors play crucial roles in regulating plant growth and development, but the functions of the MYB‐related subfamily in woody plants remain poorly understood. In this study, we characterized PagMYBR028, an MYB‐related transcription factor from poplar ‘84 K’ (Populus alba × Populus glandulosa), which was predominantly ...

BioResources, 2014 Despite increasing demand for dissolving pulps from raw material, production costs remain quite high compared to regular paper pulp. Research literature to date has focused on improving performance and quality but has not simultaneously explored how to ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Breeding crops with robust disease resistance often compromises yield, a persistent challenge in agricultural improvement. We report that modifying cell wall architecture through a xylan‐specific glycosyltransferase successfully breaks this trade‐off in wheat.
