The paper uses cryogenic electron microscopy to reveal water networks in hydrated tunicate cellulose fibers, showing structural water molecules connecting cellulose chains.

This study identifies thaxtomin A as a potent cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor with broad-spectrum activity and elucidates its mechanism of action through structural and functional analyses.

This study characterizes the structure and function of soybean primary cell wall cellulose synthases, revealing their assembly and interaction mechanisms for cellulose biosynthesis.

This study identifies a convergent evolution of MBGT genes in asterids and rosids, showing different evolutionary pathways for similar biochemical functions.

The paper identifies the genetic basis of xylan side chain variability in plants and shows how pathogens adapt to degrade these structures, revealing evolutionary adaptations in both biosynthesis and degradation.
