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
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)

2006 journal article

Expression and characterization of Acidothermus cellulolyticus E1 endoglucanase in transgenic duckweed Lemna minor 8627

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY, 98(15), 2866–2872.

By: Y. Sun n, J. Cheng n , M. Himmel *, C. Skory *, W. Adney*, S. Thomas*, B. Tisserat *, Y. Nishimura n, Y. Yamamoto n

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
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)
