Plant cell walls provide structural support for growth and serve as a barrier for pathogen
attack. Plant cell walls are also a source of renewable biomass for conversion to biofuels …

Secondary cell walls mediate many crucial biological processes in plants including
mechanical support, water and nutrient transport and stress management. They also provide …

A multi-omics quantitative integrative analysis of lignin biosynthesis can advance the
strategic engineering of wood for timber, pulp, and biofuels. Lignin is polymerized from three …

During leaf senescence, the final stage of leaf development, nutrients are recycled from
leaves to other organs, and therefore proper control of senescence is thus critical for plant …

High‐throughput single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNA‐seq) has advantages over traditional
RNA‐seq to explore spatiotemporal information on gene dynamic expressions in …

Background Xylem, the most abundant tissue on Earth, is responsible for lateral growth in
plants. Typical xylem has a radial system composed of ray parenchyma cells and an axial …

Wood remains the world's most abundant and renewable resource for timber and pulp and
is an alternative to fossil fuels. Understanding the molecular regulation of wood formation …

Wood quality is predominantly determined by the amount and the composition of secondary
cell walls (SCWs). Consequently, unraveling the molecular regulatory mechanisms …

Woody bamboo is environmentally friendly, abundant, and an alternative to conventional
timber. Degree of lignification and lignin content and deposition affect timber properties …

Wood formation is controlled by transcriptional regulatory networks (TRNs) involving
regulatory homeostasis determined by combinations of transcription factor (TF)–DNA and TF …
