Evolution of glucuronoxylan side chain variability in vascular plants and the counter-adaptation of pathogenic cell-wall-degrading hydrolases

The paper identifies the genetic basis of xylan side chain variability in plants and shows how pathogens adapt to degrade these structures, revealing evolutionary adaptations in both biosynthesis and degradation.

Eudicot primary cell wall glucomannan is related in synthesis, structure and function to xyloglucan

The paper shows that β-galactoglucomannan (β-GGM) in eudicot primary cell walls is structurally and functionally similar to xyloglucan (XyG).
