Seed Cell Wall Storage Polysaccharides: Models to Understand Cell Wall Biosynthesis and Degradation
(AMER SOC PLANT BIOLOGISTS, 2010)
Cell wall storage polysaccharides (CWSPs) are found as the principal storage compounds in seeds of many taxonomically important groups of plants. These groups developed extremely efficient biochemical mechanisms to disassemble ...
Survival of Atta sexdens workers on different food sources
(Elsevier B.V., 2003-04-01)
Leaf-cutting ants belonging to the tribe Attini are major herbivores and important agriculture pests in the neotropics, these ants being thought to feed on the sap which exudes from the plant material which they cut and ...
Sulfated polysaccharides in the freshwater green macroalga cladophora surera not linked to salinity adaptation
(Frontiers, 2017-11)
The presence of sulfated polysaccharides in cell walls of seaweeds is considered to be a consequence of the physiological adaptation to the high salinity of the marine environment. Recently, it was found that sulfated ...
The chemical composition of 'canjica', a polymeric material found in Brazilian cane sugar industry
(Kluwer Academic PublDordrechtHolanda, 2003)
RNA Isolation method for polysaccharide rich algae: agar producing Gracilaria tenuistipitata (Rhodophyta)
(SPRINGER, 2008)
RNA isolation is essential to study gene expression at the molecular level. However, RNA isolation is difficult in organisms (plants and algae) that contain large amounts of polysaccharides, which co-precipitate with RNA. ...
Polissacarídeos de parede celular fúngica: purificação e caracterização
(2009-01-01)
The cell wall is a rigid structure essential for the survival of fungi. A knowledge of its composition is therefore useful for the development of novel anti-fungal drugs. In this context, polysaccharides as main components ...
Metabolism of plant polysaccharides by Leucoagaricus gongylophorus, the symbiotic fungus of the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens L.
(Amer Soc Microbiology, 1998-12-01)
Atta sexdens L, ante feed on the Fungus they cultivate on cut leaves inside their nests. The fungus, Leucoagaricus gongylophorus, metabolizes plant polysaccharides, such as xylan, starch, pectin, and cellulose, mediating ...

Biosynthesis of plant cell walls
(Facultad de Agronomía e Ingeniería Forestal, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile ., 2006-09)
The
cell wall plays a major role in determining the expansion, growth and shape of plant cells, and
thus of the plant itself. Additionally, cell wall breakdown products are used as developmental
signals. Moreover, the ...
Regulation of self-glycosylation of reversibly glycosylated polypeptides from Solarum tuberosum
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2004-04-13)
Reversibly glycosylated polypeptides (RGPs) belong to a family of self-glycosylating proteins believed to be involved in plant polysaccharide synthesis. The precise function of these enzymes remains to be elucidated. Our ...
