Carbohydrates and carbohydrate-containing complexes as a factor of the functional specialization of the structure, properties, modifications and functions of plant polysaccharides and their complexes
- structural and functional diversity of pectins;
- the role of polysaccharides and carbohydrate-containing complexes in the functioning of mechanical tissues;
- physical and mechanical properties of polysaccharides and their complexes, the role in the functional specialization of plant cells.
Molecular-genetic basis of the formation and functioning of the plant cell walls
- molecular-genetic regulation of the formation and modification of the plant cell walls;
- protein-carbohydrate interactions, functions of plant CAZYs;
- mechanisms of the gravitropic reaction realized by plant fibers with a tertiary cell wall.
Functioning mechanisms of collenchyma and sclerenchyma as mechanical tissues
The role of protein glycosylation in plant cells
- glycoproteomes in the cells with different functions;
- molecular mechanisms of protein glycosylation in the cells with different functions;
- changes in the ultrastructure and dynamics of subcellular structures, caused by the modulation of various stages of protein N-glycosylation.
