The present disclosure provides methods of producing plants with preferred levels of cell wall biosynthesis; and uses of such plants. The inventors have identified that the GFR9, CCoAOMT and MYB41 genes are major regulators of the cell wall biosynthesis pathway. Plants with modulated cell wall biosynthesis, based on modulation of the expression or activity of the GFR9, CCoAOMT and MYB41 genes, have divergent uses including pulp and paper production, and bioproduct production.

A film-packaged product with excellent withdrawability of sheets of sanitary tissue paper has a bundle of sanitary tissue paper packaged with a flexible resin film, and includes a dispenser-port-forming region formed by disposing an easy-tear line in a loop in the top face, the region has a narrowed section extending widthwise in the middle of the depth direction, flaring sections each gradually flaring with increasing distance from the narrowed section outward widthwise, and curved convex sections each bulging convexly outward widthwise, and the width of the region is 70% or more the width of the top face, a maximum depth of the region is 10 to 40% the depth of the top face, the width of the narrowed section is 50 to 70% the length of the top face, and the depth of the narrowed section is 0.5 to 10% the depth of the top face.

Described are oil and water-resistant compositions and methods of making and using such compositions. The compositions can be used to prepare oil and water-resistant articles of manufacturing. Oil and water-resistant compositions can include a fiber, a polysaccharide, an acid, and water; wherein the composition is water and oil resistant when compressed and heated. Other oil and water-resistant compositions can include a fiber, a blocking agent such as a fatty acid, a metal salt of a fatty acid, or combinations thereof, and water, wherein the composition is water and oil resistant when compressed and heated.

The present invention relates to a grown bioleather (1), which can be used in all sectors where animal skin and artificial leather are used, resembles a genuine leather both physically and optically, does not contain any chemicals, and has cellulose produced by microorganisms as its raw material and production method thereof. With the bioleather production method (100), a bioleather that can be named as vegan leather is obtained, which leather prevents climate change and environmental pollution by reducing carbon emissions and supports sustainable development and green economy. The said bioleather (1) involves a bacterial weaving process, can decompose in soil in a short amount of time, is highly environmentally friendly, flexible and has high tensile strength and high mechanical strength.

A process for making absorbent towel paper webs is provided. The process has the steps of (a) providing a papermaking furnish having from about 45% to about 90% by weight of the dry fiber basis of the absorbent towel paper web of a refined softwood pulp fiber mixture having from about 20% to about 89.9% by weight of softwood pulp fiber, from about 0.05% to about 20% by weight of cellulose nanofilaments, and from about 0.05% to about 5.0% by weight of strengthening additive, and from about 10% to about 55% by weight of the dry fiber basis of the absorbent towel paper web of a hardwood pulp fiber mixture; (b) forming a wet fibrous web from the paper making furnish; and, (c) drying the web until the web contains not more than about 10% by weight moisture.
