Writing in Science, Ding et al. 2 employ state-of-the-art microscopy techniques to show, at nanometre resolution, plant cell walls being degraded through distinct mechanisms by bacteria and fungi.

O-acetylation, a ubiquitous modification of cell wall polymers, has striking impacts on plant growth and biomass utilization and needs to be tightly controlled. However, the mechanisms that ...

In all tree species, there are long tube-like fibers found in the secondary cell wall called macrofibrils which hold wood cells. These fibers are made from chains of cellulose and give trees their ...

Convergent and adaptive evolution drove change of secondary cell wall ultrastructure in extant lineages of seed plants. New Phytologist , 2024; DOI: 10.1111/nph.19983 Cite This Page : ...

So, Lam’s team developed their own, custom-built imaging platform. The cells that star in the team’s wall-building video were protoplasts of Arabidopsis, a small flowering plant belonging to ...

image: These are electron microscope images of Arabidopsis pollen. A: ... CESA7 and CESA8 are necessary for the synthesis of the secondary cell wall.

They also reported the existence of four distinct types of cellulose microfibrils in different plant materials: the secondary cell wall of wild-type cotton fiber contains 72 glucan chains in a ...

CRISPR has undoubtedly revolutionized gene editing and regulation, and in doing so, it also has facilitated cell microscopy. Groups have used it to label defined chromosomal loci to image the 3D ...

Scientists reveal new plant cell walls can have significantly different mechanical properties compared to surrounding parental cell walls, enabling cells to change their local shape and influence ...
