In the chitin bibliography, a major reference is the book written by Richards in 1951
“primarily for entomologists and other invertebrate zoologists” but also, in the author's hope …

Two centuries after the discovery of chitin, it is widely accepted that this biopolymer is an
important biomaterial in many aspects. Numerous studies on chitin have focused on its …

Plant cell walls are complex, dynamic cellular structures essential for plant growth,
development, physiology and adaptation. Plant Cell Walls provides an in depth and diverse …

Somatic embryogenesis is defined as a process in which a bipolar structure, resembling a
zygotic embryo, develops from a non-zygotic cell without vascular connection with the …

ABSTRACT A previously undescribed plant-microbe interaction between a root-colonizing
Streptomyces species, S. lydicus WYEC108, and the legume Pisum sativum is described …

The aim of this review is to present the current state of knowledge on plant chitinases and
their regulation and function. Chitinases are up-regulated by a variety of stress conditions …

Biosphere nitrogen is subjected to rapid turnover, and because it is eventually lost as
nitrogen into the atmosphere, its maintenance requires continuous replenishment with …

Most differentiation events in higher plants occur continuously in the postembryonic adult
phase of the life cycle. Embryogenesis in plants, therefore, is concerned primarily with …

Rhizobium and its allies (Azorhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, and Sinorhizobium) are Gram-
negative bacteria that cause the development of root (and sometimes stem) nodules on …

The onset of nodule development, the result of rhizobia–legume symbioses, is determined
by the exchange of chemical compounds between microsymbiont and leguminous host …
