Hemicellulosic polysaccharides built of β‐1, 4‐linked mannose units have been found
throughout the plant kingdom and have numerous industrial applications. Here, I review …

Highlights•OFPs interact with TRMs and regulate cell division patterns in several crop
species.•TRMs regulate organ shape and microtubule structure.•OFPs may also regulate …

The mechanisms that regulate the vast diversity of plant organ shapes such as the fruit
remain to be fully elucidated. TONNEAU1 Recruiting Motif proteins (TRMs) have been …

Background As a major component of plant cell walls, cellulose provides the most abundant
biomass resource convertible for biofuels. Since cellulose crystallinity and polymerization …

Microtubules (MTs) are essential elements of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton and are critical for
various cell functions. During cell division, plant MTs form highly ordered structures, and …

Seed coat mucilages are mainly polysaccharides covering the outer layer of the seeds to
facilitate seed hydration and germination, thereby improving seedling emergence and …

Background Drought stress limits the production of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], which
is the most grown high-value legume crop worldwide. Breeding for drought tolerance is a …

Plant cell wall (CW) is a complex and intricate structure that performs several functions
throughout the plant life cycle. The CW of plants is critical to the maintenance of cells' …

Plant myxodiasporous species have the ability to release a polysaccharidic mucilage upon
imbibition of the seed (myxospermy) or the fruit (myxocarpy). This is a widespread capacity …

Arabidopsis seeds release large capsules of mucilaginous polysaccharides, which are
shaped by an intricate network of cellulosic microfibrils. Cellulose synthase complexes are …
