A research team has revealed how gritty stone cells form and expand in pear fruit flesh by using a cutting-edge imaging technique based on bioorthogonal click chemistry.

A pioneering study has revealed the crucial role of cell wall components in tomato fruit ripening. By investigating the effects of altered SlP4H3 gene expression on arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs ...

A plant cell wall is arranged in layers and contains cellulose microfibrils, hemicellulose, pectin, lignin, and soluble protein. These components are organized into three major layers: the primary ...

New details of molecular machinery that builds plant cell wall components Membrane protein within plant cells serves as a scaffold to organize three key enzymes involved in building the cell's ...

Cell wall components are assembled in its cisternae from individual sugar molecules and then sent to the right address. The study by the researchers from Halle is currently at a fundamental stage.

To determine where H. pylori cells add new wall components, the team distinguished between areas of positive curvature. In the background are microscope images of H. pylori cells with new wall ...

Cell walls—the jacket-like structures that surround all known bacteria—may turn out to be bacteria's undoing , holding the key to developing new drugs that target it for destruction.

Back in 2019, a team of microbiologists at Yale University, including then-postdoctoral scholar Brandon Jutras, discovered that most patients with Lyme arthritis had B. burgdorferi peptidoglycan (PG), ...

A new cell wall is formed there, for which peptidoglycan is produced as the core component. This constriction thus gives rise to two identical daughter cells.

The data led to the development of a revised model of fungal cell wall organization and the assembly of five categories of polysaccharides, including chitin, β-glucan, mannan, α-glucan, and ...
