TL;DR: Using an in situ XET activity assay in poplar stems, it is demonstrated that xylogucan is incorporated at a high level in the inner layer of nacreous walls of mature sieve tube elements and strongly suggests that XET has a previously unreported role in restructuring primary walls at the time when secondary wall layers are deposited.
Journal ArticleDOI
Xyloglucan Endo-transglycosylase (XET) Functions in Gelatinous Layers of Tension Wood Fibers in Poplar—A Glimpse into the Mechanism of the Balancing Act of Trees
Nobuyuki Nishikubo,Tatsuya Awano,Alicja Banasiak,Veronica Bourquin,Farid M. Ibatullin,Ryo Funada,Harry Brumer,Tuula T. Teeri,Takahisa Hayashi,Björn Sundberg,Ewa J. Mellerowicz +10 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that XET activity is essential for G-fiber shrinking by repairing xyloglucan cross-links between G- and S(2)-layers and thus maintaining their contact.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accurate and high resolution in situ hybridization analysis of gene expression in secondary stem tissues.
TL;DR: An in situ hybridization technique which uses fast freezing and freeze substitution to cryoimmobilize the mRNA followed by embedding in a methacrylate resin for high-resolution analysis of gene expression will be particularly valuable for the expression analysis of genes involved in xylogenesis and wood formation.
