  2. 1. Investigation of genes and proteins involved in xylan biosynthesis

    Author : Anders Winzell; Ines Ezcurra; Johan Edqvist; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Populus; xylan biosynthesis; hemicellulose; glycosyltransferase; GT43; IRX; glycoside hydrolase; GH10; Xyn10A; CAZy; transcription factor; MYB; wood formation; secondary cell wall; Arabidopsis; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Wood formation or xylogenesis is a fundamental process for so diverse issues as industry, shelter and a sustainable environment. Wood is comprised of secondary xylem, rigid large cells with thick cell walls that are lignified. READ MORE

  4. 2. On the Mechanism of Assembly of Xylans onto Cellulose Surfaces

    Author : Åsa Linder; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; aggregation; Xylan; cellulose; surface structures; assembly;

    Abstract : Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer on earth and the major component in cell walls of wood and terrestrial plants. Commercial applications include paper, plastics, hygiene and pharmaceutical products. The composition and morphology of cellulose surfaces affect the product properties. READ MORE

  5. 3. 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

  6. 4. Heterologous expression, characterization and applications of carbohydrate active enzymes and binding modules
