Sentences with phrase «cell wall composition»

Not exact matches

The cell walls of the FHB - resistant variety had a particular composition of lignin — a structural component which plays a crucial role in cell wall reinforcement — and showed unique compositions of other structural components including pectin and hemicellulose.

Learning how to control the composition of secondary cell walls is an area of intense interest among advanced biofuel researchers because the structures make up the bulk of the plant matter that is broken down into biofuels.

These include: acid hydrolysis and monosaccharide composition using gas - liquid chromatography [3], microscopic observation of xylem stem sections [4, 5], seedling growth on medium containing cell wall hydrolyzing enzymes [6] and Fourier - Transform Infrared (FT - IR) microspectroscopy [7, 8].

These spectra were used in a pilot study to model cell wall sugar composition (Smith - Moritz AM, et al., 2011).

Due to the composition of plant cell walls, plant material is not efficiently broken down or deconstructed to the basic sugars that are converted to biofuels.

We discovered in this work that two Mucoromycotina species have novel fucose sugar composition in their cell walls which is not found in other Fungi.

While the polysaccharide composition of the pod cells walls is known to change along with the maturation of the green beans (for example, homogalacturonan is known to increase in quantity), researchers have yet to determine how these polysaccharide changes might be related to support of digestive tract function.
