Polysaccharides and Plant Cell Walls

This study shows that cold acclimation increases β-1,4-galactan in plant cell walls, improving freezing tolerance by altering cell wall mechanical properties.

This study investigates how Cynipid wasps alter plant metabolism and cell wall structure to form galls, revealing coordinated lignin and xylan deposition in gall vasculature.

This paper investigates the structural differences of galactoglucomannan in eudicots and non-eudicot angiosperms, finding that {beta}-GGM is likely eudicot-specific.

This study shows that phosphate starvation increases cellulose synthesis in Arabidopsis roots, altering cell wall structure and reducing primary root growth through changes in cellulose synthase phosphorylation.

This study shows that pectin methylesterase activity is necessary for RALF1 peptide signaling, as it enables binding to de-methylesterified pectin for FERONIA-dependent perception.

The paper characterizes cell wall composition in four Chara species, finding branched galactans rich in 3-O-methylgalactose and absence of arabinogalactan-proteins.

The paper investigates the role of CSI1 in sepal morphogenesis, finding that it ensures spatial consistency of cell growth direction despite altered cellulose microfibril alignment in mutants.

This paper tests grapefruit IntegroPectin on SH-SY5Y cells, showing its neuroprotective, antioxidant, and antiproliferative effects.

This study identifies BK2L3, a COBRA family gene, as essential for cell wall formation and carbohydrate partitioning in maize, linking cellulose deposition to phloem function and plant growth.

This study shows XTH4 and XTH9 regulate xylem cell expansion and secondary wall formation in Arabidopsis through cell wall integrity signaling.
