The discovery of xyloglucan and its ability to bind tightly to cellulose has dominated our
thinking about primary cell wall structure and its connection to the mechanism of cell …

Hemicelluloses are polysaccharides in plant cell walls that have β-(1→ 4)-linked backbones
with an equatorial configuration. Hemicelluloses include xyloglucans, xylans, mannans and …

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 …

Higher plants resist the forces of gravity and powerful lateral forces through the cumulative
strength of the walls that surround individual cells. These walls consist mainly of cellulose …

Trees represent the largest terrestrial carbon sink and a renewable source of ligno-cellulose.
There is significant scope for yield and quality improvement in these largely undomesticated …

A collection of 130 new plant cell wall glycan-directed monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) was
generated with the aim of facilitating in-depth analysis of cell wall glycans. An enzyme-linked …

Xyloglucan (XyG) is a matrix polysaccharide that is present in the cell walls of all land plants.
It consists of a β-1, 4-linked glucan backbone that is further substituted with xylosyl residues …

The polysaccharide-rich cell walls (CWs) of plants perform essential functions such as
maintaining tensile strength and allowing plant growth. Using two-and three-dimensional …

Xyloglucans are the main hemicellulosic polysaccharides found in the primary cell walls of
dicots and nongraminaceous monocots, where they are thought to interact with cellulose to …

The conversion of plant biomass into liquid transportation fuels is a complex process that
could be simplified by altering the ratios of the cell wall polymers that constitute the main …
