Research: Disrupting Two Arabidopsis thaliana Xylosyltransferase Genes »

The Plant Cell | June 2008 | Cavalier, David et al
Abstract 
Xyloglucans are the main hemicellulosic polysaccharides found in the primary cell walls of dicots and nongraminaceous monocots, where they are thought to interact with cellulose to form a three-dimensional network that functions as the principal load-bearing structure of the primary cell wall. To determine whether […]

Research: Plant triacylglycerols as feedstocks for the production of biofuels »

The Plant Journal | January 30, 2008 | Timothy P. Durrett, Christoph Benning and John Ohlrogge
Summary
Triacylglycerols produced by plants are one of the most energy-rich and abundant forms of reduced carbon available from nature. Given their chemical similarities, plant oils represent a logical substitute for conventional diesel, a non-renewable energy source. However, as plant oils […]
