Advances in carbohydrate chemistry have certainly made common oligosaccharides much
more accessible. However, many current methods still rely heavily upon specialized …

Access to complex carbohydrates remains a limiting factor for the development of the
glycosciences. Automated glycan assembly (AGA) has accelerated and simplified the …

The intrinsic complexity of carbohydrate structures has hampered access to pure glycans
and hence impeded progress in the glycosciences. Automated Glycan Assembly (AGA) has …

Postharvest fungal pathogens benefit from the increased host susceptibility that occurs
during fruit ripening. In unripe fruit, pathogens often remain quiescent and unable to cause …

Automated glycan assembly (AGA) aims at accelerating access to synthetic
oligosaccharides to meet the demand for defined glycans as tools for molecular …

The sequence, length and substitution of a polysaccharide influence its physical and
biological properties. Thus, sequence controlled polysaccharides are important targets to …

Plant cell walls are highly complex structures composed of diverse classes of
polysaccharides, proteoglycans, and polyphenolics, which have numerous roles throughout …

Growing plants with modified cell wall compositions is a promising strategy to improve
resistance to pathogens, increase biomass digestibility, and tune other important properties …

The plant endomembrane system facilitates the transport of polysaccharides, associated
enzymes, and glycoproteins through its dynamic pathways. Although enzymes involved in …

Background Lignocellulosic biomass from dedicated energy crops such as Miscanthus spp.
is an important tool to combat anthropogenic climate change. However, we still do not …
