“By looking at wood at different levels – from the microscopic structures inside the cell walls all the way up to the full piece of wood – we were able to learn more about how to chemically ...

wood tissues and cell wall layers. Cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin form structures called microfibrils, which are organized into macrofibrils that mediate structural stability in the plant ...

Engineers have created steel-like wood by infusing it with iron, offering a climate-friendly alternative to concrete and ...

Utilizing a vacuum impregnation process, nanoparticles of that ferrihydrite were drawn into the wood and deposited inside of its individual cell walls. This action served to strengthen those walls ...

Can you fill in the blanks to complete the table? Cell structure Description Function Cell type Cell wall Freely permeable layer surrounding cell membrane. The cell wall of plant cells is made ...

We are expanding this classical model with the use of forward genetic approaches. Our results indicate that modifications of cell wall structure and composition leading to e.g. loss of cell adhesion, ...
