Wood formation in Angiosperms.

TLDR
This review will focus on two different aspects, the lignification process and the control of microfibril angle in the cell wall of wood fibres, as they are both key features of wood material properties.

In Posidonia oceanica cadmium induces changes in DNA methylation and chromatin patterning

TL;DR: The data demonstrate that Cd perturbs the DNA methylation status through the involvement of a specific methyltransferase, linked to nuclear chromatin reconfiguration likely to establish a new balance of expressed/repressed chromatin.

Nanofibrils in nature and materials engineering

TL;DR: This Review summarizes hierarchical design strategies of cellulose, silk and chitin, focusing on nanoconfinement, fibrillar orientation and alignment in 2D and 3D structures, and highlights the contribution of rational material design strategies to the development of mechanically anisotropic and responsive materials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lignin Composition and Structure in Young versus Adult Eucalyptus globulus Plants

TL;DR: The data indicated that p-hydroxyphenyl and guaiacyl units are deposited at the earlier stages, whereas the woods are enriched in syringyl (S) lignin during late lignification, and resinols are the most important nonether linkages.
Journal ArticleDOI

Xylem tissue specification, patterning, and differentiation mechanisms

TL;DR: This review examines the current state of knowledge concerning the process of vascular tissue formation, and highlights important mechanisms underlying key steps in vascular cell type specification, xylem and phloem tissue patterning, and, finally, the differentiation and maturation of specificxylem cell types.

Physiology of woody plants

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explain how physiological processes (such as photosynthesis, respiration, transpiration, carbohydrate, nitrogen and mineral relations) are involved in the growth of woody plants and how they are affected by the environment.

Anatomy of seed plants

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the development of a seed from embryo to the adult plant, including the growth of the cell wall and the root growth in the secondary growth stages of the seed.

Visualization of Cellulose Synthase Demonstrates Functional Association with Microtubules

TL;DR: Inhibition of microtubule polymerization changed the fine-scale distribution and pattern of moving CESA complexes in the membrane, indicating a relatively direct mechanism for guidance of cellulose deposition by the cytoskeleton.
