The Bacteroidetes phylum is renowned for its ability to degrade a wide range of complex
carbohydrates, a trait that has enabled its dominance in many diverse environments. The …

Cell wall polysaccharides (CPSs) and polyphenols are major constituents of the dietary fiber
complex in plant‐based foods. Their digestion (by gut microbiota) and bioefficacy depend …

To understand and engineer plant metabolism, we need a comprehensive and accurate
annotation of all metabolic information across plant species. As a step towards this goal, we …

The leaf economics spectrum (LES) represents a suite of intercorrelated leaf traits
concerning construction costs per unit leaf area, nutrient concentrations, and rates of carbon …

Lignocellulosic plant biomass is recognized as an alternative resource for sustainable
production of liquid fuels, chemicals, and polymeric materials through the biorefining …

The rise of biomass-derived nanocellulose addresses the sustainability criteria now
demanded of new materials, which have been widely overlooked in the plastics era …

Plants interact with a diversity of microorganisms that influence their growth and resilience,
and they can therefore be considered as ecological entities, namely “plant holobionts,” …

Cadmium (Cd) pollution renders many soils across the world unsuited or unsafe for food-or
feed-orientated agriculture. The main mechanism of Cd phytotoxicity is the induction of …

Plant cell walls are dynamic structures that are synthesized by plants to provide durable
coverings for the delicate cells they encase. They are made of polysaccharides, proteins …

Fast pyrolysis is a promising thermochemical technology that breaks down renewable and
abundant lignocellulosic biomass into a primary liquid product (bio‐oil) in seconds. The bio …
