1. Cellular Aspects of Lignin Biosynthesis in Xylem Vessels of Zinnia and Arabidopsis
Sammanfattning : Lignin is the second most abundant biopolymer on earth and is found in the wood (xylem) of vascular land plants. To transport the hydro-mineral sap, xylem forms specialized conduit cells, called tracheary elements (TEs), which are hollow dead cylinders reinforced with lateral secondary cell walls (SCW). LÄS MER
2. 13C-Enriched Dehydrogenation Polymers Used for Studying Light-Induced Yellowing of Lignocellulosic Materials
Sammanfattning : This study deals with the use of selectively 13C-enriched dehydrogenation polymers (DHPs) as models of lignin in lignocellulosic materials for elucidating the reaction pathways involved in light-induced yellowing. Methods for the synthesis of coniferin, a precursor to lignin and DHP, selectively 13C-enriched in the aromatic ring (positions 1, 3, 4, and 5) have been developed. LÄS MER
3. Ultrastructure of the wood cell wall
Sammanfattning : The ultrastructure of wood fibres has been studied incambial cells, differentiating fibres and mature xylem fibres,using the Rapid-Freeze Deep-Etching (RFDE) technique combinedwith transmission electron- and epifluorescence microscopy.Pectin distribution in mature wood fibres, and in fibres duringdevelopment, have been studied by immunolabelling.

4. Gene regulation of UDP-glucose synthesis and metabolism in plants
Sammanfattning : Photosynthesis captures light from the sun and converts it into carbohydrates, which are utilised by almost all living organisms. The conversion between the different forms of carbohydrates is the basis to form almost all biological molecules. LÄS MER
