Rhamnogalacturonan-I: A Structurally Puzzling and Functionally Versatile Polysaccharide from Plant Cell Walls and Mucilages (2011, background): “In the wall, RGs-I are mainly present in the primary cell wall (PCW) wherein they could hold a central function as a scaffold to which other pectic polysaccharides, notably HG and RG-II, may be covalently attached (as side chains) to form the pectin matrix, 2 , 9 which determines the wa”
Effect of microfibrillated cellulose and fines on the drainage of kraft pulp suspension and paper strength (2010, background): “It has been proposed that in higher plants the smallest cellulosic structure is an elementary fibril, consisting of 36 parallel aligned and hydrogen bonded cellulose molecules in amorphous and crystalline regions, and having a lateral dimension of approximately 2‐4 nm (Jakob et al. 1995; Davies and ”
Qualitative and quantitative analysis of lignocellulosic biomass using infrared techniques: A mini-review (2013, background): “Naturally, hemicellulose is connected with cellulose microfibrils by non-covalent linkages [51], and hemicellulose generally consists of more than one type of monosaccharide unit, including both hexose and pentose.”
Deconstruction of lignocellulosic biomass to fuels and chemicals. (2011, background): “The degree of polymerization of cellulose varies, depending on its source, between 100 and 10,000 (15, 16).”
Cellulose nanofiber-based hydrogels with high mechanical strength (2012, background): “Cellulose, which is a long linear polymer of Dglucose with three free hydroxyl groups, is insoluble in water, and thus the molecular chains synthesized on the plasma membrane are highly crystallized into microfibrils with diameters of *3 nm in higher plant cell walls (Somerville et al. 2004).”
Novel enzymes for the degradation of cellulose (2012, background): “The cellulose chains aggregate into microfibrils via hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions [21,22], reported to consist of 24 to 36 chains based on scattering data [23] and information about the cellulose synthase [24], respectively (Figure 1B).”
Access to cellulose limits the efficiency of enzymatic hydrolysis: the role of amorphogenesis (2010, background): “Microcrystalline cellulose has been shown to be made up of two different crystal phases: Ia and Ib [15,16].”
Plant cell walls: the skeleton of the plant world (2010, background): “Evidence accumulated over many decades, including the observations of co-alignment of cortical microtubules and cellulose microfibrils and a loss of directed cell expansion and CSC mobility upon microtubule disruption (Gardiner et al. 2003; Somerville et al. 2004; Paredez et al. 2006; DeBolt et al. ”
Cellulose Chemistry and Properties: Fibers, Nanocelluloses and Advanced Materials (2016, methodology): “The different processes result in varying fiber strengths of the pulp [5, 6].”
Forest biotechnology: Innovative methods, emerging opportunities (2005, background): “A great deal of research has been done on the understanding of cell wall formation (Mellerowicz et al., 2001; Somerville et al., 2004) and also the process of wood formation (Plomion et al., 2001).”
