Techniques for the study of the chemistry and metabolism of plant cell walls are described,
with an emphasis on the simplest techniques available. Topics covered include the isolation …

The growing plant cell wall is a biphasic structure, consisting of a rigid skeleton of cellulose
microfibrils held together (and apart) by a gel-like matrix (48, 54, 57, 60). The matrix makes …
