Journal ArticleDOI
Lignification and lignin topochemistry - an ultrastructural view.
TL;DR: The ultrastructural aspects of cell wall lignification and lignin topochemistry are discussed, which results in the filling of pores within the carbohydrate matrix following a sequence from the outer regions of the wall towards the lumen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microfibril Angle: Measurement, Variation and Relationships – A Review
TL;DR: MFA, in combination with basic density, shows a strong relationship to longitudinal modulus of elasticity, and to longitudinal shrinkage, which are the main reasons for interest in this cell wall property in conifers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Restricted access of proteins to mannan polysaccharides in intact plant cell walls
Susan E. Marcus,Anthony W. Blake,Thomas A.S. Benians,Kieran J.D. Lee,Callum Poyser,Lloyd Donaldson,Olivier Leroux,Artur Rogowski,Henriette L. Petersen,Alisdair B. Boraston,Harry J. Gilbert,William G.T. Willats,J. Paul Knox +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, using two monoclonal antibodies and a carbohydrate-binding module directed against the mannan group of hemicellulose cell wall polysaccharides, the authors show that molecular recognition of mannan polyscharides present in intact cell walls is severely restricted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellulose microfibril aggregates and their size variation with cell wall type
TL;DR: In this article, a combination of FEM and environmental scanning electron microscopy was used to visualize the organization of macrofibrils in different cell wall types comparing normal and reaction wood of radiata pine and poplar as examples of a typical softwood and hardwood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Suppression of 4-Coumarate-CoA Ligase in the Coniferous Gymnosperm Pinus radiata
Armin Wagner,Lloyd Donaldson,Hoon Kim,Lorelle Phillips,Heather Flint,Diane Steward,Kirk M. Torr,Gerald Koch,Uwe Schmitt,John Ralph +9 more
TL;DR: The molecular, anatomical, and analytical data verified that the isolated 4CL clone is associated with lignin biosynthesis and illustrated that 4CL silencing leads to complex, often surprising, physiological and morphological changes in P. radiata.
