The sugarbeet cultivar Kaumera was found to be highly susceptible to infection by the root-rot pathogens Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotium rolfsii in the absence of salinity stress. Under this ...

The plant cell wall is a complex matrix of linked polysaccharides such as cellulose and pectin, forming a thick semi-permeable rigid barrier outside the plasma membrane. It physically protects and ...

Using tomatoes as a research plant, scientists at the University of California, Davis, have discovered that two plant enzymes that occur in the plant's cell walls cooperate with each other to make ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A cell-wall-degrading activity was solubilized from young cells and from mother cell walls of Chlorella fusca by treatment with LiCl. The ...

Plant cell wall growth is typically described as a simple process, but researchers using a microscope that can resolve images on the nanoscale level have observed something more complex. Plant cell ...

A new paper provides important new insights into the process by which bacteria recycle their cell wall. A new paper by a team of researchers led by Shahriar Mobashery, Navari Family Professor of Life ...

A transporter which some bacteria use to recycle fragments of their cell wall has been discovered by researchers at Umeå university, Sweden. They found that the transporter controls resistance to ...
