The targeting of starch binding domains from starch synthase III to the cell wall alters cell wall composition and properties
(Springer, 2016-10)
The plant cell wall, which represents a major source of biomass for biofuel production, is composed of cellulose, hemicelluloses, pectins and lignin. A potential biotechnological target for improving the production of ...
Ripening-associated changes in the amounts of starch and non-starch polysaccharides and their contributions to fruit softening in three banana cultivars
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2011)
BACKGROUND: Fruit softening is generally attributed to cell wall degradation in the majority of fruits. However, unripe bananas contain a large amount of starch, and different banana cultivars vary in the amount of starch ...
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 ...
Overexpression of the carbohydrate binding module of strawberry expansin2 in Arabidopsis thaliana modifies plant growth and cell wall metabolism
(Springer, 2015-05)
Several cell wall enzymes are carbohydrate active enzymes that contain a putative Carbohydrate Binding Module (CBM) in their structures. The main function of these non-catalitic modules is to facilitate the interaction ...
Anatomia Quantitativa e Degradação in vitro de Tecidos em Cultivares de Capim-Elefante (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach.)
(1999-03-01)
In this research, the main histological changes that occurred in cultivars of elephant-grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach.) at three development stages were determined. The tissue degradation was evaluated after incubation ...
Microscopic evidence supports the hypothesis of high cellulose degradation capacity by the symbiotic fungus of leaf-cutting ants
(Aristotle Univ Thessaloniki, 2011-01-01)
Leaf-cutting ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) use fresh leaf fragments to cultivate a symbiotic fungus (Basidiomycota, Agaricales) as their food source. There are three hypothetical propositions for the degree of cellulose ...
Microscopic evidence supports the hypothesis of high cellulose degradation capacity by the symbiotic fungus of leaf-cutting ants

Leaf-cutting ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) use fresh leaf fragments to cultivate a symbiotic fungus (Basidiomycota, Agaricales) as their food source. There are three hypothetical propositions for the degree of cellulose ...
Developmental changes in cell wall polysaccharides from sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) cultivars with contrasting firmness
(Elsevier, 2013-10)
Firmness is a major quality attribute of fresh cherries, and is also a main factor affecting susceptibility to bruising andpostharvest rots.Inorder to identify the factorsdetermining the texturaldifferences between genotypes, ...
Role of "well known" proteins on cell wall degradation and softening
(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2015-03)
Fruit softening has been largely associated with cell wall degradation by a number of loosening proteins. Firmness is a major quality attribute of fresh cherries and also an important factor affecting the susceptibility ...
