Higher plants resist the forces of gravity and powerful lateral forces through the cumulative
strength of the walls that surround individual cells. These walls consist mainly of cellulose …

Lignocellulose is the most abundant carbohydrate source in nature and represents an ideal
renewable energy source. Thermostable enzymes that hydrolyze lignocellulose to its …

Plant cell walls are complex, dynamic cellular structures essential for plant growth,
development, physiology and adaptation. Plant Cell Walls provides an in depth and diverse …

The conversion of plant biomass into liquid transportation fuels is a complex process that
could be simplified by altering the ratios of the cell wall polymers that constitute the main …

Microarrays are powerful tools for high throughput analysis, and hundreds or thousands of
molecular interactions can be assessed simultaneously using very small amounts of …

Plant cell walls are important barriers against microbial pathogens. Cell walls of Arabidopsis
thaliana leaves contain three major types of polysaccharides: cellulose, various …

In the last three decades, more than 200 monoclonal antibodies have been raised against
most classes of plant cell wall polysaccharides by different laboratories worldwide. These …

Lignocellulosic biomass was used for thousands of years as animal feed and is now
considered a great sugar source for biofuels production. It is composed mostly of secondary …

A rapidly increasing body of literature suggests that many biological processes are driven by
phase separation within polymer mixtures. Liquid-liquid phase separation can lead to the …

Owing to its detrimental effect on plant growth, salinity is an increasing worldwide problem
for agriculture. To understand the molecular mechanisms activated in response to salt in …
