Congratulations to Wout and John! Their great research on plant cell walls, especially lignin synthesis and diversity of structure, is recognised with this prestigious prize

In New Phytologist, Theodora Tryfona (@DupreeLab) and coauthors provide a better understanding of the molecular architecture of grass cell walls, opening new avenues to improve #cereals for food and the production of #bioenergy and #biomaterials . Read more: bioc.cam.ac.uk/news/opening-t…

The The Supplant Company, which started in the Department and works closely with Dupree Lab,
has launched its revolutionary new pasta in the UK in the dining halls of Magdalene College (@magdalenealumni). It is healthier and better for the planet, more here: supplant.com/products

Paul Dupree has been awarded a £1-million Innovate UK grant to work with the The Supplant Company. The award enables the Dupree Lab to use their ground-breaking research to support the development of Supplant's healthier alternatives to sugar and starch: bioc.cam.ac.uk/news/dupree-gr…

Plant cell wall glycosyltransferases underpin the complex structure of dietary fibre. In our new work doi.org/10.1111/nph.19…, we show that β-xylosylated xyloglucan arose from the rapidly evolving GT47 family, while a promiscuous GH43 hydrolase permits its digestion in the gut.

Wonderful news! We can’t wait to continue developing our plant cell wall architecture models using this amazing solid state NMR facility! #glycotime

We are delighted our publications continue to be highly cited! Plant cell wall studies influence many aspects of our lives! #glycotime

We are delighted to contribute to this opportunity to discover how plant cell walls can enable development of new sustainable materials #glycotime

Our unexpected discovery will change views on plant cell wall composition and architecture! The structure of primary cell wall polysaccharides seems to be very important for plants! #glycotime

Congratulations to Henry Temple and @KI55141505 (Konan) for winning best postdoc talk and best PhD poster presentation at the IX Cell Wall Research Conference #glycotime

This Nature Research Briefing highlights the importance of our Golgi SAM transporter and pectin methylation study! Nature Plants rdcu.be/cPCi4

New Article: 'Golgi-localized putative S-adenosyl methionine transporters required for plant cell wall polysaccharide methylation' rdcu.be/cPkfB

Methylation occurs in the Golgi and relies on the import of SAM molecules into the Golgi lumen by transporters.
