3. Transcriptomes of Populus lines modified in Pectin methylesterase expression reveal activation of oxidative stress signaling pathways
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Genetics and Plant PhysiologyAbstract : Pectin methylesterases (PMEs) catalyze the demethylesterification of cell wall polygalacturonans, and this is thought to play important roles in cell wall extensibility and intercellular adhesion. In addition, PMEs influence many physiological processes, such as stem elongation, root development, fertilization, fruit softening, and xylogenesis. READ MORE
