Lignocellulosic biomass, encompassing cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose in plant
secondary cell walls (SCWs), is the most abundant source of renewable materials on earth …

Wood is an invaluable asset to human society due to its renewable nature, making it suitable
for both sustainable energy production and material manufacturing. Additionally, wood …

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 …

In the search for renewable energy sources, genetic engineering is a promising strategy to
improve plant cell wall composition for biofuel and bioproducts generation. Lignin is a major …

Heteroxylans are abundant components of plant cell walls and provide important raw
materials for the food, pharmaceutical, and biofuel industries. A number of studies in …

Xylan is a hemicellulose present in the cell walls of all land plants. Glycosyltransferases of
the GT43 (IRX9/IRX9L and IRX14/IRX14L) and GT47 (IRX10/IRX10L) families are involved …

Xylan is a crucial component of many plant primary and secondary cell walls. However, the
structure and function of xylan in the dicotyledon primary cell wall is not well understood …

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

The regulation of sugar metabolism and partitioning plays an essential role for a plant's
acclimation to its environment, with specific responses in autotrophic and heterotrophic …

Non-cellulosic polysaccharides constitute approximately one third of usable woody biomass
for human exploitation. In contrast to cellulose, these substances are composed of several …
