  2. 11. Function of MAP20 and MYB103 in cellulose and lignin formation of xylem secondary cell walls

    Author : David Öhman; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Lignocellulose from trees and other crops will have tremendous impact on the next generation of sustainable biofuels and biomaterials. To take advantage of modern breeding tools, it is therefore important to understand the genetic and molecular regulation underlying secondary cell wall formation. READ MORE

  4. 12. Xylan biosynthesis and modification : characterisation of a glycosyltransferase and a glycoside hydrolase in hybrid aspen

    Author : Christine Ratke; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Wood is an important renewable material used by humans for a variety of downstream applications. The basic subcellular structure in wood is the cell wall, mainly consisting of the cross-linked polymers cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. READ MORE

  5. 13. Cellular Control and Physiological Importance of Vascular Lignification

    Author : Leonard Blaschek; Edouard Pesquet; Richard Sibout; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; växtfysiologi; Plant Physiology;

    Abstract : Lignin is indispensable for vascular plants. It allows their cells to coalesce into gravity-defying giants, hardens them to withstand pressures and predators, and waterproofs them to allow the flow of water only where it is advantageous. READ MORE

  6. 14. Sucrose cleavage pathways in aspen wood

    Author : Umut Rende; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Cellulose is the main component of wood and one of the most important renewable raw materials. In several tree species including Populus species, carbon for cellulose biosynthesis is derived from the disaccharide sucrose. READ MORE

  7. 15. Cell wall chemotyping for functional genomics : applications of pyrolysis-gas chromatography / mass spectrometry

    Author : Lorenz Gerber; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The interest in lignocellulose as a sustainable resource for energy and materials has fueled research on biotechnology applications in tree breeding to improve biomass production and wood properties. An important aspect of this research is the basic understanding of gene function in wood formation, where analysis of wood chemistry and wood structure is of utmost importance. READ MORE
