    An enzyme activity capable of endotransglycosylation of heteroxylan polysaccharides is present in plant primary cell walls

    Heteroxylans in the plant cell wall have been proposed to have a role analogous to that of xyloglucans or heteromannans, forming growth-restraining networks by interlocking cellulose microfibrils. A xylan endo...

    Papaya Fruit Softening: Role of Hydrolases

    Papaya (Carica papaya L.) cultivars show a wide variation in fruit softening rates, a character that determines fruit quality and shelf life, and thought to be the result of cell wall degradation. The activity of...
