Science on Sundays at Cambridge University Botanic Garden

Sun 15 July 2018

Cambridge University Botanic Garden

Join Professor Paul Dupree, Department of Biochemistry, for this Science on Sundays talk on Sunday 15 July 2018.

Sweet science: how do plants spin sugars into fibres?

Plants turn sugars into fibres that give plants strength and shape. These fibres are important in our food, textiles, paper and buildings. This talk will show how recent discoveries reveal how the fibres are made and then woven into wood.
