Cell walls in plants, particularly forest trees, are the major carbon sink of the terrestrial
ecosystem. Chemical and biosynthetic features of plant cell walls were revealed early on …

Xylan is the second most abundant polysaccharide in plant biomass. It is a crucial
component of cell wall structure as well as a significant factor contributing to biomass …

Water is one of the principal constituents by mass of living plant cell walls. However, its role
and interactions with secondary cell wall polysaccharides and the impact of dehydration and …

Plant biomass plays an increasingly important role in the circular bioeconomy, replacing non-
renewable fossil resources. Genetic engineering of this lignocellulosic biomass could …

Oil-tea camellia fruit shell (CFS) is a very abundant waste lignocellulosic resource. The
current treatments of CFS, ie composting and burning, pose a severe threat on environment …

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

Xylan is a fundamental structural polysaccharide in plant secondary cell walls and a
valuable resource for biorefinery applications. Deciphering the molecular motifs of xylans …

Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) is an evergreen coniferous tree with wide distribution and
good growth performance in a range of habitats. Therefore, wood from P. sylvestris is …

Wood is the most important repository of assimilated carbon in the biosphere, in the form of
large polymers (cellulose, hemicelluloses including glucuronoxylan, and lignin) that …

Main conclusion Several pine members of the gymnosperm-specific GT61 clades were
demonstrated to be arabinosyltransferases and xylosyltransferases catalyzing the transfer of …
