Numerous examples have been presented of enzyme activities, assayed in vitro, that appear
relevant to the synthesis of structural polysaccharides, and to their assembly and …

The functions of plant glycoside hydrolases and transglycosidases have been studied using
different biochemical and molecular genetic approaches. These enzymes are involved in the …

Allotetraploid cotton (Gossypium) species represents a model system for the study of plant
polyploidy, molecular evolution, and domestication. Here, chromosome-scale genome …

Each tree ring contains an image of the time when the ring formed, projected onto the ring's
size, structure, and composition. Tree rings thus are natural archives of past environments …

Abstract The microRNA159 (miR159) family represses the conserved GAMYB-like genes
that encode R2R3 MYB domain transcription factors that have been implicated in gibberellin …

The plant cell-wall matrix is equipped with more than 20 glycosylhydrolase activities,
including both glycosidases and glycanases (exo-and endo-hydrolases, respectively), which …

The cell wall plays a key role in controlling the size and shape of the plant cell during plant
development and in the interactions of the plant with its environment. The cell wall structure …

Progress has been made toward understanding the biosynthesis and modifications of the
cellulose and the hemicellulose/pectin matrix of woody cell walls (and hence wood …

Acetyl-CoA provides organisms with the chemical flexibility to biosynthesize a plethora of
natural products that constitute much of the structural and functional diversity in nature …

Strawberries (75% red color) were harvested and heat-treated at 45° C, 3h in an air oven.
After treatment, fruit were stored at 20° C for 2 days. Firmness, content of cell wall …
