Constituting approximately 10% of flowering plant species, orchids (Orchidaceae) display
unique flower morphologies, possess an extraordinary diversity in lifestyle, and have …

The root system architecture (RSA) of crops can affect their production, particularly in abiotic
stress conditions, such as with drought, waterlogging, and salinity. Salinity is a growing …

BACKGROUND: Few data are available on the clinical outcome of patients with acute
coronary syndrome (ACS) complicated by refractory cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest who …

Highlights • Lignocellulosic biomass utilization is crucial for sustainable development. •
Lignin has two characteristics, a useful biomass component and an inhibitor of wall …

Chlorophyll (Chl) degradation occurs during leaf senescence, embryo degreening, bud
breaking, and fruit ripening. The Chl catabolic pathway has been intensively studied and nearly …

Highly efficient tissue repair is pivotal for surviving damage-associated stress. Plants generate
callus upon injury to heal wound sites, yet regulatory mechanisms of tissue repair remain …

Background Exercise training improves walking ability in patients with peripheral arterial
disease (PAD), but whether exercise training improves the long-term outcome of these patients …

Plant tissues that require structural rigidity synthesize a thick, strong secondary cell wall of
lignin, cellulose and hemicelluloses in a complicated bridged structure. Master regulators of …

Differences in atherosclerotic profiles between patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA)
and patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) have not been studied. We …

The bulk of a plant’s biomass, termed secondary cell walls, accumulates in woody xylem
tissues and is largely recalcitrant to biochemical degradation and saccharification 1 . By contrast…
