A raman microprobe investigation of the molecular architecture of loblolly pine tracheids

Our understanding of the molecular architecture of intact, native plant cell walls is very limited. Traditional methods of investigation disturb the tissue to varying degrees and conclusions based on these methods may be intimately related to the technique used. A promising new technique to study native-state organization is polarized Raman spectroscopy. In this...

The role of the hemicelluloses in the nanobiology of wood cell walls : a systems theoretic perspective

The hemicelluloses have not received adequate attention in studies of wood cell walls because the complexity of their structures does not admit easy interpretation within the paradigms of polymer science. Two-phase composite models of the cell wall have led many to view their primary function as one of coupling cellulose and lignin to enhance the mechanical properties...
