Starting from simple sugars, three groups of polysaccharides, namely, cellulose, hemicelluloses and pectins, with very different physical properties are assembled by the cell to make a strong yet extensible wall. This Review describes the physics of wall growth and its regulation by cellular ...

The wood cell wall structure is frequently thought of as a two-phase system in which cellulose is a discrete component and the lignin and hemicelluloses are blended together to form an encrusting matrix around the cellulose. From:Encyclopedia of Materials: Science and Technology,2001 ...
The plant cell wall is a highly organized composite that may contain many different polysaccharides, proteins, and aromatic substances. These complex matrices define the features of individual cells within the plant body. Ultimately, the plant wall functions as the determinant of plant morphology. The...
Over the past 30 years, there has been a widespread emergence of resistance to antibiotics in pathogenic bacteria. This resistance is now a serious threat to global public health and could undermine the major advances that had been previously achieved in the treatment of infection. The success rat...

EJ Mellerowicz,B Sundberg - 《Current Opinion in Plant Biology》 被引量: 483发表: 2008年 Orientation of the wood polymers in the cell wall of spruce wood fibres The mechanical and physical properties of wood fibres depend to a large extent on the orientation of the polymers, mainly the cell...
A cell is the structural and fundamental unit of life. The study of cells from its basic structure to the functions of every cell organelle is called Cell Biology. Robert Hooke was the first Biologist who discovered cells. All organisms are made up of cells. They may be made up of a sin...
Many bacteria and archaea possess a two-dimensional protein array, or S-layer, that covers the cell surface and plays crucial roles in cell physiology. Here, we report the crystal structure of SlpA, the main S-layer protein of the bacterial pathogen Clos
Inferences from genetic association studies rely largely on the definition and description of the underlying populations that highlight their genetic similarities and differences. The clustering of human populations into subgroups (population structure)
