Young guard cells function dynamically despite low mechanical anisotropy but gain efficiency during stomatal maturation in Arabidopsis thaliana

This study tracks stomatal maturation in Arabidopsis thaliana, showing mature guard cells are more energy efficient due to increased mechanical anisotropy and reduced turgor pressure changes.

Xylan inhibition of cellulase binding and processivity observed at single-molecule resolution

This study uses single-molecule microscopy to show that xylan inhibits cellulase binding and processivity on cellulose fibrils, highlighting the need for xylan removal in biomass processing.

Lignin impairs Cel7A degradation of cellulose by impeding enzyme movement and not by acting as a sink

This study uses single-molecule fluorescence microscopy to show that lignin impairs Cel7A degradation of cellulose by blocking access and hindering enzyme movement, rather than acting as a sink.

Altering the substitution and crosslinking of glucuronoarabinoxylans affects cell wall porosity and assembly in Brachypodium distachyon.

This study shows that altering xylan biosynthesis in Brachypodium distachyon affects cell wall porosity and structure, impacting digestibility and biomass properties.

Single-molecule tracking reveals dual front door/back door inhibition of Cel7A cellulase by its product cellobiose

This study uses single-molecule tracking to show that cellobiose inhibits Cel7A cellulase by binding to both the product release site and the substrate binding tunnel.

Sorting motifs target the movement protein of ourmia melon virus to the trans-Golgi network and plasmodesmata

This study identifies sorting motifs in the movement protein of OuMV that are critical for targeting it to the trans-Golgi network and plasmodesmata, enabling cell-to-cell movement.

An integrated multi-wavelength SCATTIRSTORM microscope combining TIRFM and IRM modalities for imaging cellulases and other processive enzymes

The paper introduces a multimodal microscope combining IRM and TIRFM to image processive enzymes with high precision.

Nanoscale dynamics of cellulase TrCel7A digesting cellulose

This study uses single-molecule tracking to analyze the dynamics of TrCel7A cellulase binding and movement along cellulose, revealing a three-state model with static and processive states.

Cell wall remodeling and vesicle trafficking mediate the root clock in Arabidopsis

This study identifies GNOM and AGD3 as critical for root clock function in Arabidopsis by regulating pectin esterification and distribution during lateral root initiation.
