Abstract
En 中文
Xylan is a vital component of plant cell walls, contributing to their structural integrity and flexibility through interactions with other polymers. Its structure varies among plant species, influencing the mechanical properties of cell walls. Xylan also has significant industrial potential, including in biofuels, biomaterials, food, and pharmaceuticals, due to its ability to be converted into valuable bioproducts. However, key aspects of xylan biosynthesis, regulation, and structural impact on plant growth and structures remain unclear. This review highlights current researches on xylan biosynthesis, modification, and applications, identifying critical gaps in knowledge. Meanwhile the review proposes new approaches to regulate xylan synthesis and understand its role in cell wall assembly and interactions with other polymers. Addressing these gaps could unlock the full industrial potential of xylan, leading to more sustainable applications.
