4. Understanding the Molecular Basis of Differential Growth during Apical Hook Development
Abstract : Plants’ adaptation to their environment often involves change in development, which in many cases involves the establishment of differential growth rates across organs, for instance during phototropic and gravitropic responses. A striking example of differential growth is the formation of the apical hook, a structure that forms to protect the apical meristem as seedlings penetrate through soil. READ MORE

5. Acetylation of polysaccharides in plant cell wall : with a focus on woody species
Abstract : Plant cell wall in woody tissues is a complex matrix, which consists of cellulose, matrix polysaccharides and lignin. The matrix polysaccharides are substituted with acetyl group that are hypothesised to play important roles in determining properties of these polysaccharides. READ MORE
