Download or read book Plant Cell Walls written by Peter Albersheim and published by Garland Science. This book was released on 2010-04-15 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant cell walls are complex, dynamic cellular structures essential for plant growth, development, physiology and adaptation. Plant Cell Walls provides an in depth and diverse view of the microanatomy, biosynthesis and molecular physiology of these cellular structures, both in the life of the plant and in their use for bioproducts and biofuels. Plant Cell Walls is a textbook for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, as well as a professional-level reference book. Over 400 drawings, micrographs, and photographs provide visual insight into the latest research, as well as the uses of plant cell walls in everyday life, and their applications in biotechnology. Illustrated panels concisely review research methods and tools; a list of key terms is given at the end of each chapter; and extensive references organized by concept headings provide readers with guidance for entry into plant cell wall literature. Cell wall material is of considerable importance to the biofuel, food, timber, and pulp and paper industries as well as being a major focus of research in plant growth and sustainability that are of central interest in present day agriculture and biotechnology. The production and use of plants for biofuel and bioproducts in a time of need for responsible global carbon use requires a deep understanding of the fundamental biology of plants and their cell walls. Such an understanding will lead to improved plant processes and materials, and help provide a sustainable resource for meeting the future bioenergy and bioproduct needs of humankind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Methods of Plant Analysis When the handbook Modern Methods of Plant Analysis, was first introduced in 1954, the considerations were: 1. the dependence of scientific progress in biology on the improvement of existing and the introduction of new methods; 2. the difficulty in finding many new analytical methods in specialized journals which are normally not accessible to experimental plant biologists; 3. the fact that in the methods sections of papers the description of methods is frequently so compact, or even sometimes to incomplete, that it is difficult to reproduce experiments. These considerations still stand today. The series was highly successful, seven volumes appearing between 1956 and 1964. Since there is still today a demand for the old series, the publisher has decided to resume publication of Modern Methods of Plant Analysis. It is hoped that the New Series will be just as acceptable to those working in plant sciences and related fields as the early volumes undoubtedly were. It is difficult to single out the major reasons for the success of any publication, but we believe that the methods published in the first series were up-to-date at the time and presented in a way that made description, as applied to plant material, complete in itself with little need to consult other publications. Contribution authors have attempted to follow these guidelines in this New Series of volumes. Editorial The earlier series of Modern Methods of Plant Analysis was initiated by Michel V.

Download or read book Water Stress in Plants written by Ismail M. M. Rahman and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2016-08-24 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water stress in plants is caused by the water deficit, as induced possibly by drought or high soil salinity. The prime consequence of water stress in plants is the disruption in the agricultural production, resulting in food shortage. The plants, however, try to adapt to the stress conditions using biochemical and physiological interventions. The edited compilation is an attempt to provide new insights into the mechanism and adaptation aspects of water stress in plants through a thoughtful mixture of viewpoints. We hope that the content of the book will be useful for the researchers working with the plant diversity-related environmental aspects and also provide suggestions for the strategists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant cell walls are complex structures that underpin plant growth and are widely exploited in diverse human activities thus placing them with a central importance in biology. Cell walls have been a prominent area of research for a long time, but the chemical complexity and diversity of cell walls not just between species, but also within plants, between cell-types, and between cell wall micro-domains pose several challenges. Progress accelerated several-fold in cell wall biology owing to advances in sequencing technology, aided soon thereafter by advances in omics and imaging technologies. This development provides additional perspectives of cell walls across a rapidly growing number of species, highlighting a myriad of architectures, compositions, and functions. Furthermore, rather than the component centric view, integrative analysis of the different cell wall components across system-levels help to gain a more in-depth understanding of the structure and biosynthesis of the cell envelope and its interactions with the environment ...

Download or read book Plant Cell Walls written by Nicholas C. Carpita and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is a comprehensive collection of articles that cover aspects of cell wall research in the genomic era. Some 2500 genes are involved in some way in wall biogenesis and turnover, from generation of substrates, to polysaccharide and lignin synthesis, assembly, and rearrangement in the wall. Although a great number of genes and gene families remain to be characterized, this issue provides a census of the genes that have been discovered so far. The articles comprising this issue not only illustrate the enormous progress made in identifying the wealth of wall-related genes but they also show the future directions and how far we have to go. As cell walls are an enormously important source of raw material, we anticipate that cell-wall-related genes are of significant economic importance. Examples include the modification of pectin-cross-linking or cell-cell adhesion to increase shelf life of fruits and vegetables, the enhancement of dietary fiber contents of cereals, the improvement of yield and quality of fibers, and the relative allocation of carbon to wall biomass for use as biofuels. The book is intended for academic and professional scientists working in the area of plant biology as well as material chemists and engineers, and food scientists who define new ways to use cell walls.

Download or read book Structural Characterization of Plant Cell Walls Using Synchrotron X ray written by Sintu Rongpipi and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant cell walls are complex, dynamic biological assemblies consisting of several biopolymers and some structural proteins. They form an extracellular matrix that helps in growth, morphogenesis, mechanics, intercellular communication, and defense against pathogens. Besides having important structural and functional roles in plants, cell walls form the primary source for the most abundant biopolymers on earth which include cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin, and lignin. They form raw materials for several important commercial products and hold promise as renewable and sustainable source of energy and materials. Although the chemical composition of cell walls has been known for several decades now, detailed knowledge of the structure, interactions between the cell wall components, and their roles in the cell wall remain unknown. X-ray diffraction and scattering have been invaluable towards understanding the structure and organization of plant cell walls. Synchrotron-based X-ray techniques provide us with an opportunity to characterize the structure of plant cell walls over a broad length scale with high spatial resolution. The higher flux and collimation help obtaining good quality data in shorter measurement times from plant samples which are, in general, weakly scattering. In this dissertation, we explored the applicability of several synchrotron-based X-ray techniques to structural characterization of plant cell walls. We developed experimental designs and analytical approaches for successful application of techniques such as transmission X-ray scattering, grazing incidence X-ray scattering, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and resonant X-ray scattering on plant cell walls. We begin by introducing GIWAXS as a technique to probe preferred orientation of cellulose crystals (texture) with respect to cell wall plane, a previously unexamined structural parameter of cell walls. Using GIWAXS, we revealed that scattering from cellulose crystals and cuticular wax crystals can be decoupled. We also established a method to measure degree of preferred orientation of cellulose in cell walls through pole figures. Altogether, our GIWAXS results contradict the predominant notion of twisting of cellulose microfibrils in primary cell walls. We then applied GIWAXS to investigate how defects in biosynthesis of cellulose, pectin, and xyloglucan affect cellulose preferred orientation in primary cell walls of etiolated hypocotyls of a model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana wild type, cellulose mutants, pectin mutants, and xyloglucan mutants. With the newly developed ability of GIWAXS to measure cellulose preferred orientation in plant cell walls, we found that the preferential orientation of cellulose is disrupted in cellulose and pectin deficient mutants, but not in xyloglucan deficient mutants. This suggests that pectin might act as a cementing substance in the cell wall matrix that maintains the preferred orientation of cellulose crystals. We also found that degree of cellulose preferred orientation is correlated with the rate of hypocotyl elongation, leading us to hypothesize that the degree of cellulose preferred orientation could be a measure of tension, cells experience during elongation. We then used transmission small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) to evaluate the effects of defects in biosynthesis of cellulose, pectin, and xyloglucan on anisotropy of mesoscale cellulose organization. We focused on the anisotropic organization of cellulose microfibrils in primary cell walls of etiolated hypocotyls of Arabidopsis thaliana. We introduced a parameter called anisotropy ratio to describe relative alignment of microfibrils in direction parallel versus perpendicular to cell growth axis and found that xyloglucan mutants have higher anisotropy ratio when compared to wild type. Our results suggest that global anisotropic organization of cellulose microfibrils might be an essential factor for growth and mechanical anisotropy of plant cells. We also used near-edge X-ray absorption fine-structure spectroscopy (NEXAFS) to quantify calcium content in plant samples. We tried to eliminate the effects of sample thickness in (a) transmission NEXAFS near calcium L-edge by normalizing NEXAFS spectra by edge jump at carbon K-edge and in (b) fluorescence yield NEXAFS near calcium K-edge by normalizing NEXAFS spectra by pre-edge region. Using a calibration curve for calcium concentration between calcium NEXAFS signal and calcium concentration from ICP-MS for different onion scales, we could estimate calcium concentration in hypocotyls of Arabidopsis thaliana, which have similar chemical composition of cell walls. Finally, we combined SAXS and NEXAFS to carry out a chemically sensitive characterization of primary cell walls in onion epidermis. This technique called resonant X-ray scattering has been used previously with soft X-rays (near Ca L-edge) to extract interfibrillar spacings between cellulose in primary cell walls. In the current work, we explored the possibilities of obtaining higher resolution structural information using tender X-rays near calcium K-edge (~ 4.05 keV). While the works presented in this chapter are in progress, we indeed see a structural feature corresponding to a length scale of ~ 2 nm in primary cell walls of onion epidermis which we have demonstrated to be originating from distribution of calcium in the cell wall. We hope that the results established throughout this work will help in further understanding of the structure of plant cell walls, particularly in relating nanoscale structure with macroscale properties of cell walls. This work demonstrated that the unique opportunities offered by synchrotron-based X-ray techniques which are routinely applied to other soft materials can be used for furthering our understanding of the plant cell walls, either by looking at an unexamined structural aspect or by developing a new analytical approach towards an already known structural parameter. In several sections of this dissertation, we have tried to answer fundamental questions relating to plant growth by using methods we developed. We believe that this dissertation has just scratched the surface of plant cell wall characterization using advanced X-ray techniques, and we hope that the techniques and protocols established here will enable answering several questions surrounding fundamental structure-function relationships in plant morphogenesis, growth, and mechanics through new directions.
