Abstract:
... Heavy metals in the effluents released from industrial establishments pose risks to the environment and society. Prevalent organisms such as microalgae in industrial wastes can thrive in this harmful environment. The connection of the metal-binding proteins of the microalgal cell wall to the metal ions of the heavy metals enables microalgae as an ideal medium for biosorption. The current literatur ...

Abstract:
... Casparian strip (CS) is a lignified structure localized on the cell wall between adjacent root endodermal cells and functions as an apoplastic diffusion barrier in the root. The polarly localized, lignin-based CS is an excellent system for studying peptide signaling and position recognition. In this short review, we summarize advances in the past decade on the molecular mechanism governing CS deve ...

Abstract:
... Fruit purees are concentrated suspensions of highly deformable, non-spherical particles. These particles are delimited by a plant cell wall and filled with the continuous phase. They can shrink under stress, as it occurs with the increasing concentration in particles, making difficult the determination of their real volume fraction and the understanding of their rheological properties. Usually, th ...
