author keywords: glycosyltransferase; Populus trichocarpa; wood formation; xylan
MeSH headings : Arabidopsis / genetics; Arabidopsis / metabolism; Cell Wall / metabolism; Down-Regulation; Elastic Modulus; Gene Expression Regulation, Plant; Genes, Plant; Genetic Variation; Glycosyltransferases / genetics; Glycosyltransferases / metabolism; Plant Stems / chemistry; Plants, Genetically Modified / genetics; Plants, Genetically Modified / metabolism; Populus / genetics; Populus / metabolism; Stress, Mechanical; Transcription Factors; Wood / analysis; Xylans / biosynthesis; Xylans / genetics
topics (OpenAlex): Plant Gene Expression Analysis; Biofuel production and bioconversion; Polysaccharides and Plant Cell Walls
TL;DR: Results suggest that PtrGT8Ds play key roles in xylan biosynthesis in wood, and may be a more important factor than lignin affecting the stiffness and fracture strength of wood. (via Semantic Scholar)

author keywords: Acidothermus cellulolyticus; endoglucanase E1; gene expression; Lemna minor; transgenic duckweed
MeSH headings : Buffers; Cellulase / genetics; Cellulase / isolation & purification; Cellulase / metabolism; Gram-Positive Bacteria / enzymology; Hydrogen-Ion Concentration; Plants, Genetically Modified; Temperature
topics (OpenAlex): Biofuel production and bioconversion; Plant tissue culture and regeneration; Advanced Cellulose Research Studies
TL;DR: Duckweed may offer new options for the expression of cellulolytic enzymes in transgenic plants, and the endoglucanase E1 enzyme was biologically active and the expression level was up to 0.24% of total soluble protein. (via Semantic Scholar)
