A Cross-Polarization, Magic-Angle-Spinning, ^sup 13^C-Nuclear-Magnetic-Resonance Study of Polysaccharides in Sugar Beet Cell Walls1

Catherine M.G.C. Renard2* and Michael C. Jarvis

Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation experiments were used to study the rigidity and spatial proximity of polymers in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) cell walls. Proton T^sub 1P^ decay and crosspolarization patterns were consistent with the presence of rigid, crystalline cellulose microfibril...

Use of chitinase and chitosanase to form sphaeroplasts from Pilobolus sporangiospores.
Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science ; ABSTRACT. Extracting cell contents, such as DNA and protein, from cells with cell walls creates a special challenge because the wall has to be removed without damaging the contents of the cell itself. One method to remove cell walls is to use enzymes to break down cell wall components to release
Isolation from Sugar Beet Cell Walls of Arabinan Oligosaccharides Esterified by Two Ferulic Acid Monomers1
Plant Physiology ; Side chains of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) pectins, which are mainly composed of arabinose (Ara) and galactose (Gal) residues, are esterified by ferulic acid units. Enzymatic hydrolysis of beet cell walls yielded several feruloylated oligosaccharides, which were separated by hydrophobic interaction
A constitutive theory for rigid polyurethane foam.
Polymer Engineering and Science ; EXPERIMENTAL OBSERVATIONS Rigid, closed-cell, polyurethane foam consists of interconnected polyurethane plates. This material is manufactured by having a gas expand inside liquid polyurethane, which solidifies in a foamed state. Shaw and Sata (1), Patel and Finnie (2), Zaslawsky (3), Triantafillou
Distribution of fucose-containing xyloglucans in cell walls of the murl mutant of Arabidopsis1
Plant Physiology ; The monoclonal antibody, CCRC-M1, which recognizes a fucose (Fuc)-containing epitope found principally in the cell wall polysaccharide xyloglucan, was used to determine the distribution of this epitope throughout the mur1 mutant of Arabidopsis. Immunofluorescent labeling of whole seedlings revealed
Reduce fruit and vegetable softening
Emerging Food R&D Report ; New studies at the Institute of Food Research (Norwich Research Park, Colney, Norwich NR4 7UA, England, UK) may offer an alternative approach to reducing the softening that occurs when fruit and vegetables are processed. As part of their research into texture, investigators have learned how ferulic
