The discovery unveils the molecular machinery that plants use to weave cellulose chains into cable-like structures called 'microfibrils.' New research from the University of Virginia School of ...
Made up of tiny threads known as cellulose microfibrils, plant cell walls are important for regulating a plant’s growth and protecting them from pests and pathogens. Previously only one route for ...
A scanning electron micrograph captured x100,000 magnification - showing the random cellulose microfibril network produced by the University of Queensland bacterial cellulose model. The plant primary ...
