Functional regulation and structural maintenance of the different organelles in plants
contribute directly to plant development, reproduction and stress responses. To ensure …

Xylan that comprises roughly 25% of hardwood biomass is undesirable in biorefinery
applications involving saccharification and fermentation. Efforts to reduce xylan levels have …

Stem bending in trees induces flexure wood but its properties and development are poorly
understood. Here, we investigated the effects of low‐intensity multidirectional stem flexing …

Naturally fluorescent polymeric molecules such as collagen, resilin, cutin, suberin, or lignin
can serve as renewable sources of bioproducts. Theoretical physics predicts that the …

It's been long known that the application of organic fertilizer (OF) and bio-organic fertilizer
(BF) which containing beneficial microorganisms to pear trees can both significantly improve …

Nitrogen can be taken up by trees in the form of nitrate, ammonium and amino acids, but the
influence of the different forms on tree growth and development is poorly understood in …

High acetylation of xylan in hardwoods decreases their value as biorefinery feedstocks. To
counter this problem, we have constitutively suppressed RWA genes encoding acetyl-CoA …

Trees constitute promising renewable feedstocks for biorefinery using biochemical
conversion, but their recalcitrance restricts their attractiveness for the industry. To obtain …

Wood of broad-leaf tree species is a valued source of renewable biomass for biorefinery and
a target for genetic improvement efforts to reduce its recalcitrance. Glucuronoxylan (GX) …

Background Wood represents the majority of the biomass on land and constitutes a
renewable source of biofuels and other bioproducts. However, wood is recalcitrant to …
