TL;DR: The S-plot is proposed as a tool for visualization and interpretation of multivariate classification models, e.g., OPLS discriminate analysis, having two or more classes, and an improved visualization and discrimination of interesting metabolites could be demonstrated.

TL;DR: Although, overall, protein structures are highly conserved between isoforms, recent data indicate that structural variations might be associated with the targeting and functions of specific pectin methylesterases.

TL;DR: Populus is presented as a model system for the study of wood formation and high-resolution analysis of auxin distribution across cambial region tissues suggests that auxin provides positional information for the exit of cells from the meristem and probably also for the duration of cell expansion.

TL;DR: Based on transcriptional and anatomical data, a model for the position of the stem cells and the proliferating mother cells in the cambial zone is presented and analysis of known regulators of apical meristem development indicates substantial similarity in regulatory networks between primary and secondary meristems.

TL;DR: Major pathways for which the transcriptome and metabolome analysis suggested decreased activity were the pathway for C flux through guanosine 5'-diphosphate (GDP) sugars to mannans, the pentose phosphate pathway, lignin biosynthesis, and biosynthesis of cell wall matrix carbohydrates.
