Abstract:The accumulation of callose ($\beta$-1,3 glucans) greatly affects plant cell wall physico-mechanical properties and intercellular communication. In this paper, the structural, bonding and mechanical properties of cellulose - callose hydrogel mixtures, consisting of $90$ wt\% water and $10$ wt\% polysaccharide, have been investigated by atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. Systems of this kind have recently been investigated experimentally aiming at gaining insight into the properties underlying callose ro… Show more
