Journal ArticleDOI

Colony Organization in the Green Alga Botryococcus braunii (Race B) Is Specified by a Complex Extracellular Matrix

TL;DR: It is proposed that retaining-wall components are synthesized in the apical Golgi apparatus, delivered to apical ER fenestrations, and assembled on the surfaces of apical cell walls, where a proteinaceous granular layer apparently participates in fibril morphogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sugar release and growth of biofuel crops are improved by downregulation of pectin biosynthesis

TL;DR: Downregulation of GAUT4 reduces HG and rhamnogalacturonan II (RGII), reduces wall calcium and boron, and increases extractability of cell wall sugars, which improves biomass yields and sugar release from biomass processing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipopolysaccharides Trigger Two Successive Bursts of Reactive Oxygen Species at Distinct Cellular Locations

TL;DR: It is found that LPS trigger biphasic production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in Arabidopsis and the lipid A moiety, the most conserved portion of LPS, appears to be responsible for the second ROS burst, which was largely associated with chloroplasts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Revised structures for the predominant O-polysaccharides expressed by Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei.

TL;DR: These results demonstrate that the predominant OPS antigens expressed by B. pseudomallei and B. mallei isolates are structurally more complex than previously described and provide evidence that different capping residues are used by these closely related pathogens to terminate chain elongation.
