The yeast cell wall is a strong, but elastic, structure that is essential not only for the
maintenance of cell shape and integrity, but also for progression through the cell cycle …

The yeast cell wall is a highly dynamic structure that is responsible for protecting the cell
from rapid changes in external osmotic potential. The wall is also critical for cell expansion …

In this review, we discuss new insights in cell wall architecture and cell wall construction in
the ascomycetous yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Transcriptional profiling studies …

Fungi are surrounded by an essential structure, the cell wall, which not only confers cell
shape but also protects cells from environmental stress. As a consequence, yeast cells …

Plant cell walls have the remarkable property of combining extreme tensile strength with
extensibility. The maintenance of such an exoskeleton creates nontrivial challenges for the …

An extracellular matrix composed of a layered meshwork of β-glucans, chitin, and
mannoproteins encapsulates cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This organelle …

Fungi occupy diverse environments and are subjected to many extreme conditions. Among
the stressful conditions faced by fungi are pH changes, osmotic changes, thermal changes …

In fungi and many other organisms, a thick outer cell wall is responsible for determining the
shape of the cell and for maintaining its integrity. The budding yeast Saccharomyces …

The yeast cell wall is a main determinant of cellular strength, and plays an important role in
morphogenesis. It is also the first interface with the environment. It has a layered structure …

Plants, like yeast, have the ability to monitor alterations in the cell wall architecture that occur
during normal growth or in changing environments and to trigger compensatory changes in …
