One major component of plant cell walls is a diverse group of polysaccharides, the
hemicelluloses. Hemicelluloses constitute roughly one-third of the wall biomass and …

Plant cell walls are composed of structurally diverse polymers, many of which are O-
acetylated. How plants O-acetylate wall polymers and what its function is remained elusive …

Orchids make up about 10% of all seed plant species, have great economical value and are
of specific scientific interest because of their renowned flowers and ecological adaptations …

Non-cellulosic cell wall polysaccharides constitute approximately one quarter of usable
biomass for human exploitation. In contrast to cellulose, these components are usually …

Hemicellulosic polysaccharides built of β‐1, 4‐linked mannose units have been found
throughout the plant kingdom and have numerous industrial applications. Here, I review …

In an Arabidopsis thaliana forward genetic screen aimed at identifying mutants with altered
structures of their hemicellulose xyloglucan (axy mutants) using oligosaccharide mass …

Amorphophallus konjac (konjac) is one among the major vegetable (tuber) crops grown in
Asian countries. In China and Japan, it has been used as food and a food additive for more …

Plants invest a lot of their resources into the production of an extracellular matrix built of
polysaccharides. While the composition of the cell wall is relatively well characterized, the …

The extracellular matrix of plants, algae, bacteria, fungi, and some archaea consist of a
semipermeable composite containing polysaccharides. Many of these polysaccharides are …

Acetylation is a ubiquitous modification on cell wall polymers, which play a structural role in
plant growth and stress defenses. However, the mechanisms for how crop plants accomplish …
