The plant cell wall is composed of multiple biopolymers, representing one of the most
complex structural networks in nature. Hundreds of genes are involved in building such a …

Hemicelluloses, a family of heterogeneous polysaccharides with complex molecular
structures, constitute a fundamental component of lignocellulosic biomass. However, the …

Single cell RNA sequencing can yield high-resolution cell-type–specific expression
signatures that reveal new cell types and the developmental trajectories of cell lineages …

Economically important softwood from conifers is mainly composed of the polysaccharides
cellulose, galactoglucomannan and xylan, and the phenolic polymer, lignin. The interactions …

Significant progress over the past few years has been achieved in the enzymology of
microbial degradation and saccharification of plant xylan, after cellulose being the most …

Secondary walls are mainly composed of cellulose, hemicelluloses (xylan and
glucomannan) and lignin, and are deposited in some specialized cells, such as tracheary …

Xylan and cellulose are abundant polysaccharides in vascular plants and essential for
secondary cell wall strength. Acetate or glucuronic acid decorations are exclusively found on …

One major component of plant cell walls is a diverse group of polysaccharides, the
hemicelluloses. Hemicelluloses constitute roughly one-third of the wall biomass and …

Secondary cell walls (SCWs) are produced by specialized plant cell types, and are
particularly important in those cells providing mechanical support or involved in water …
