Cell walls define the shape of plant cells, controlling the extent and orientation of cell
elongation, and hence organ growth. The main load-bearing component of plant cell walls is …

Plant cell walls represent an enormous biomass resource for the generation of biofuels and
chemicals. As lignocellulose property principally determines biomass recalcitrance, the …

Plants invest a lot of their resources into the production of an extracellular matrix built of
polysaccharides. While the composition of the cell wall is relatively well characterized, the …

Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) seed coat epidermal cells produce large amounts of
mucilage that is released upon imbibition. This mucilage is structured into two domains: an …

Fundamental processes that underpin plant growth and development depend crucially on
the action and assembly of the cell wall, a dynamic structure that changes in response to …

Pollen tube integrity is required for achieving double fertilization in angiosperms. The rapid
alkalinization factor4/19-ANXUR1/2-Buddha's paper seal 1/2 (RALF4/19-ANX1/2-BUPS1/2) …

Chia (Salvia hispanica) is an emerging crop considered a functional food containing
important substances with multiple potential applications. However, the molecular basis of …

The primary cell wall is a fundamental plant constituent that is flexible but sufficiently rigid to
support the plant cell shape. Although many studies have demonstrated that reactive oxygen …

Approximately 1% of plant proteins are predicted to be post‐translationally modified with a
glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor that tethers the polypeptide to the outer leaflet of …

Pectin is a vital component of the plant cell wall and provides the molecular glue that
maintains cell-cell adhesion, among other functions. As the most complex wall …
