Plant β-glucanases are enzymes involved in the synthesis, remodelling and turnover of cell
wall components during multiple physiological processes. Based on the type of the …

Polysaccharide-degrading microorganisms express a repertoire of hydrolytic enzymes that
act in synergy on plant cell wall and other natural polysaccharides to elicit the degradation of …

Insoluble polysaccharides can be degraded by a set of hydrolytic enzymes formed by
catalytic modules appended to one or more non-catalytic carbohydrate-binding modules …

Plasmodesmata (Pds) traverse the cell wall to establish a symplastic continuum through
most of the plant. Rapid and reversible deposition of callose in the cell wall surrounding the …

Plasmodesmata are intercellular pores connecting together most plant cells. These
structures consist of a central constricted form of the endoplasmic reticulum, encircled by …

As our understanding of host gut microbiome increases, research interests in the fields of
prebiotics, probiotics and synbiotics are growing rapidly. Currently, the majority of prebiotics …

Abstract Plant β-1, 3-glucanases (β-1, 3-Gs)(EC 3.2. 1.39) comprise large, highly complex
gene families involved in pathogen defense as well as a wide range of normal …

Mature pollen from most plant species is metabolically quiescent; however, after pollination,
it germinates quickly and gives rise to a pollen tube to transport sperms into the embryo sac …

ABSTRACT The β (1-3) glucanosyltransferase GEL family of Aspergillus fumigatus contains
7 genes, among which only 3 are expressed during mycelial growth. The role of the GEL4 …

The GAS multigene family of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is constituted by five genes (GAS1–
GAS5), but GAS1 was the only one to have been characterized to date. Gas1 is a …
