    Screening of rice mutants with improved saccharification efficiency results in the identification of CONSTITUTIVE PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 and GOLD HULL AND INTERNODE 1

    The screening of rice mutants with improved cellulose to glucose saccharification efficiency (SE) identifies reduced xylan and/or ferulic acid, and a qualitative change of lignin to impact SE. ...

    Biosynthesis of the carbohydrate moieties of arabinogalactan proteins by membrane-bound β-glucuronosyltransferases from radish primary roots

    A membrane fraction from etiolated 6-day-old primary radish roots (Raphanus sativus L. var hortensis) contained β-glucuronosyltransferases (GlcATs) involved in the synthesis of the carbohydrate moieties of arabin...

    The role of extracellular polysaccharides produced by the terrestrial cyanobacterium Nostoc sp. strain HK-01 in NaCl tolerance

    The terrestrial cyanobacterium Nostoc sp. HK-01 was more tolerant to NaCl stress than the aquatic cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 (also called Nostoc sp. PCC 7120) which is similar to Nostoc sp. HK-01 in phy...

    Rice BRITTLE CULM 3 (BC3) encodes a classical dynamin OsDRP2B essential for proper secondary cell wall synthesis

    “Brittle culm” mutants found in Gramineae crops are suitable materials to study the mechanism of secondary cell wall formation. Through positional cloning, we have identified a gene responsible for the brittle...

    Chain elongation of pectic β-(1→4)-galactan by a partially purified galactosyltransferase from soybean (Glycine max Merr.) hypocotyls

    Pectin is one of the major cell wall polysaccharides found in dicotyledonous plants. We have solubilized and partially purified a β-(1→4)-galactosyltransferase (GalT) involved in the synthesis of the β-(1→4)-g...

    Biosynthesis of pectic galactan by membrane-bound galactosyltransferase from soybean (Glycine max Merr.) seedlings

    We investigated the properties of a galactosyltransferase (GalT) that is involved in the synthesis of β-(1→4)-galactan side chains of pectins. A membrane preparation of etiolated 6-day-old soybean (Glycine max Me...
