Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/hydrolases (XTHs) are cell wall enzymes with hydrolase (XEH) and/or endotransglycosylase (XET) activities. As they are involved in the modification of the xyloglucans, a type of hemicellulose present in the cell wall,...

Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/hydrolase (XTH) is a cell-wall-modifying enzyme participating in diverse cell morphogenetic processes and adaptation to stress. In this study, 48 XTH genes were identified from two pineapple (Ananas comosus) cultivars...

The biological functions of the multiple members of the xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/hydrolase (XTH) protein family are rather diverse: XTHs are cell wall remodeling enzymes that participate in plant growth and development, are involved in respons...

Fruit firmness is an important economical trait in sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) where the change of this trait is related to cell wall degradation. Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/hydrolase (XTH) and polygalacturonases (PGs) are critical cell-wall-...

Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/hydrolase (XTH) genes play an important role in plant resistance to abiotic stress. However, systematic studies of the response of Boehmeria nivea (ramie) XTH genes (BnXTHs) to cadmium (Cd) stress are lacking. We sough...

Xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase (XTH) is a crucial enzyme in plant cell wall remodeling, which contributes to plant growth, development, and stress response. Based on the transcriptome data of Larix kaempferi, this study identified and anal...

In this study, we investigated the effect of exogenous melatonin (MT) on cell wall metabolism leading to Chinese plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.) fruit softening. Exogenous MT treatment increased the endogenous MT content in plum fruits before fruit rip...

The CmXTH11 gene, a member of the XTH (xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/hydrolase) family, plays a crucial role in plant responses to environmental stress. In this study, we heterologously expressed the melon gene CmXTH11 in Arabidopsis to generate ov...

Plant xyloglucan xyloglucosyl transferases or xyloglucan endo-transglycosylases (XET; EC 2.4.1.207) catalogued in the glycoside hydrolase family 16 constitute cell wall-modifying enzymes that play a fundamental role in the cell wall expansion and re-...

Plant xyloglucan:xyloglucosyl transferases, known as xyloglucan endo-transglycosylases (XETs) are the key players that underlie plant cell wall dynamics and mechanics. These fundamental roles are central for the assembly and modifications of cell wal...

Xyloglucan endotransglycosylases/hydrolases (XTHs) are a class of enzymes involved in the construction and remodeling of cellulose/xyloglucan crosslinks and play an important role in regulating cell wall extensibility. However, little is known about...

Changes in plant architecture, such as leaf size, leaf shape, leaf angle, plant height, and floral organs, have been major factors in improving the yield of cereal crops. Moreover, changes in grain size and weight can also increase yield. Therefore,...

To investigate the physiological and molecular properties relating to cell wall carbohydrate metabolism in fruit, the ultrastructure and polysaccharides compositions of the cell wall, as well as the fruit quality and activities of enzymes relating to...
