The plant cell wall is a complex composite material made of polysaccharides, polyphenols,
proteins, and minerals. In this work, a multimodal imaging approach was taken, using …

Spontaneous Raman scattering microspectroscopy, second harmonic generation (SHG) and
2‐photon excited fluorescence (2PF) were used in combination to characterize the …

Silica aggregates at the endodermis of sorghum roots. Aggregation follows a spotted pattern
of locally deposited lignin at the inner tangential cell walls. Autofluorescence microscopy …

Silica deposition is a common phenomenon that correlates with plant tolerance to various
stresses. Plants accumulate amorphous silica in microscopic particles termed phytoliths …

As a main component in plant cell wall, lignin is commonly determined by wet chemical
analysis which only provides general information rather than specifics for different cell wall …

Hyperspectral Raman imaging was used to study the tissue/cell type specific distribution of
lignin and cellulose polymers within the plant cell walls. Distinct differences in cell wall …

Highly lignified vascular plant cell walls represent the majority of cellulosic biomass.
Complete release of the biomass to deliver renewable energy by physical, chemical, and …

Meeting growing energy demands safely and efficiently is a pressing global challenge.
Therefore, research into biofuels production that seeks to find cost-effective and sustainable …

Plants represent the most abundant source of terrestrial biomass and renewable energy and
are of practical importance for human and animal nutrition as well as a source of natural …

Raman imaging is a microspectroscopic approach revealing the chemistry and structure of
plant cell walls in situ on the micro-and nanoscale. The method is based on the Raman …
