Factors affecting the nutritional composition and digestibility of corn for silage: Cover crops and cell wall composition
… States. Many factors affect the nutritional composition of corn for silage, such as cropping system, including cover crops, and the composition of the corn plant cell wall. The objectives of the first study were to determine the nutritional quality of different winter crops for silage and to …

Structural colour from a helicoidal cellulose architecture in the secondary cell wall: Optical properties, cell wall composition, structure and morphology of components, and their assembly and interactions.
… structural coloration consists of assembling cellulose microfibrils into helicoidal structures. Examples of these architectures can be found in phylogenetically distant species and in different tissues of plants, such as in the endocarp of the fruit of $\textit{Margaritaria nobilis}$, an …

The Nutritive Value of Normal and Brown Midrib Sorghum X Sudangrass Genotypes: Ruminal Characteristics and Site and Extent of Nutrient and Phenolic Compound Digestion by Sheep and Holstein Steers and Heifers
Objectives were to determine the influence of cell wall composition on extent of fiber degradation of brown midrib and normal genotypes of sorghum x sudangrass hybrids, and to determine differences in concentrations of lignin phenolics, liquid and particulate turnover rates in the rumen, and …

Kiwifruit softening: A cell wall study
Cell walls are important for providing structural integrity to fruit tissues during softening. While there are reports on changes relating to fruit softening in kiwifruit cell walls, this study was the first to examine two closely related genotypes of Actinidia chinensis with different softening …

An updated genome scale metabolic reconstruction of methanosarcina barkeri
… phosphate pathway, amino acid biosynthesis, and cell wall composition have also been updated to reflect Archaea specific biosynthesis pathways. This improved insight has led to an increase in predictive accuracy for knockouts and growth yield predictions for the updated M. barkeri reconstruction, …

Investigations on the host-parasite interface of a mycoparasite system /
The cell wall composition of Choanephora cucur - bitarum and the host-parasite interface, after infection with Piptocephalis virginiana , were examined in detail. The cell walls of C_. cucurbitarum were determined to be composed of chitin (17%), chitosan (28.4%), neutral sugars (7.2%),uronic acid …

Programmed cell death, aerenchyma and pith cavity formation in vitro of Luffa cylindrica (L.) M. Roem.: an anatomical and physiological approach
… These characteristics are related to programmed cell death, which is a mechanism that is strictly related to plant growth and development and is therefore an important pathway for tissue differentiation, pathogen recognition, stress signals and metabolic status. Although programmed cell death is …

Impact of lignification of corn stover fractions on cell wall degradation by rumen microorganisms and response to ammonia treatment
Changes in cell wall composition and in vitro degradation of corn stover fractions (leaf, upper stem and lower stem) with advancing maturity and in response to NH; treatment were determined, and possible inhibitory mechanisms of lignin were evaluated. With advancing maturity, IVDMD decreased …

Production and characterisation of yeast cell wall preparations with binding activity against Salmonella and Escherichia coli.
… can potentially provide this. Abundant in the cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae as well as other yeast species, MOS have the capacity to inhibit type 1 fimbriae containing pathogenic bacteria from binding to host tissue and thus prevent infection. Alterations in the growing conditions of …

Production of antimicrobials and antioxidants from filamentous fungi
… in some cases also had a significant impact on cellular composition. Additionally, depending on species specificity, cell wall composition was found to affect the interaction of microbes prior to infection. Various extracts (crude, hot water and methanol) from the mycelium of each of the …

Cell wall involvement in desiccation tolerance in the resurrection plant Craterostigma wilmsii
… tension between the plasma membrane and the cell wall. In leaves of the Craterostigma species, an extensive shrinkage occurs during drying as well as a considerable wall folding. It is thought that this folding is a well controlled process rather than a simple collapse and that the ability of …

Cytology, Mode of Reproduction, and Forage Quality of Selected Species of Brachiaria Griseb. (Chromosome Numbers, Fiber Structure, Pachytene Analysis, Apomixis)
… Five species of Brachiaria were evaluated for cell-wall composition and digestibility: B. brizantha, B. decumbens, B. ruziziensis, B. humidicola, and B. dictyoneura. Significant differences were detected among species for cell-wall constituents and digestibilities. Brachiaria ruziziensis had …

Mechanism of Candida Albicans Biofilm and Virulence Inhibition By A Bacterial Secreted Factor
… Collectively, <em>C. albicans</em> cells present in the hyphal form were greatly reduces in all models examined. Despite these profound effects, EntV<sup>68</sup> has no effect on <em>C. albicans</em> viability, even in the presence of significant host-mimicking stresses. …

Differential Lipidomic and Proteomic Responses Induced by Sub-lethal Drug Challenge in Susceptible and Drug Resistant Mycobacterium smegmatis
… For mycobacteria in particular, the lipidome and cell wall are compartments of major importance with respect to virulence, adaptation, host-pathogen interactions and persistence. As such, we sought to determine the effect of sub-lethal rifampicin exposure upon the model organism Mycobacterium …

Estimation of indigestible neutral detergent fiber in forages from cell wall components
… the selective retention mechanism. The fibre cell wall is composed mostly of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. The first three components are measured as neutral detergent fibre (NDF). The NDF is either slowly digestible or indigestible (iNDF). Even if indigestible iNDF is unavailable to …

Biochemical Studies of Peptidoglycan Hydrolases from Commensal and Pathogenic Bacteria
… roles in regulating human health. Interestingly, cell wall, or peptidoglycan, fragments from commensal and pathogenic bacteria can activate host immunity. The mechanism(s) by which immunologically active peptidoglycan fragments are generated, however, are not well-understood. In this regard, …

The role of abscisic acid in the defence response of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) to the necrotrophic pathogens Botrytis cinerea and Erwinia chrysanthemi
… of hydrogen peroxide in sitiens leads to cell wall fortification, which results in containment of E. chrysanthemi and B. cinerea. Hydrogen peroxide accumulation in sitiens was accompanied by earlier and increased activation of extracellular peroxidases and a strong histochemical-detected …
