  2. 21. Analysis of Genes and Proteins Involved in Wood Formation

    Author : Anders Winzell; Tuula Teeri; Alan Marchant; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Abstract : SAMMANFATTNING Vedbildning är en underliggande mekanism för så skilda områden som industri, boende och en hållbar miljö. Vedbildning sker i det vaskulära kambiet där organiserade celldelningar åtföljs av differentiering till specialiserade vedceller. READ MORE

  4. 22. A study of the molecular pathways of wood formation using peptide mass spectrometry

    Author : Robert Nilsson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Wood consists essentially of secondary plant cell walls, composed of a cellulose and hemicellulose network impregnated with lignin. It is formed via the development of derivatives of a thin layer of cells (the vascular cambium) into xylem cells through cell division, expansion, secondary wall formation, lignification and, finally, programmed cell death.

  5. 23. New insights into carbon transport and incorporation to wood

    Author : Miramirhossein Mahboubi; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Wood formation in trees requires carbon import from the photosynthetic tissues. In several tree species the majority of this carbon is derived from sucrose transported in the phloem. READ MORE

  6. 24. Discovery and Characterization of a Novel Microtubule Associated Protein Involved in Cellulose Biosynthesis

    Author : Alex Selvanayagam Rajangam; Tuula Teeri; Anne-Mie Emons; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MAP; unknown gene; cellulose biosynthesis; Populus; microtubule; DCB; Bioengineering; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : Cell walls are a distinct feature of plants and their chemical constituents, cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin, are economically valuable. Plant fibres rich in cellulose, which mainly resides in their cell wall, are traditionally used in making paper and textiles. READ MORE

  7. 25. Synthesis of glucuronoxylan in higher and lower plants : is there conservation of the enzymatic machinery?

    Author : Emma Hörnblad; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The hemicellulose glucuronoxylan (GX) is the second most abundant polysaccharide after cellulose in the secondary cell walls of angiosperms and contributes significantly to the properties of wood as raw materials. Despite this, very little is known about the biosynthesis of hemicellulose. READ MORE
