The plant cell wall is composed of multiple biopolymers, representing one of the most
complex structural networks in nature. Hundreds of genes are involved in building such a …

Plant cell walls are highly dynamic and chemically complex structures surrounding all plant
cells. They provide structural support, protection from both abiotic and biotic stress as well as …

Phytohormones play indispensable roles in plant growth and development. However, the
molecular mechanisms underlying phytohormone-mediated regulation of fiber secondary …

In this work, we systematically investigated how cell wall and cell wall components affect the
delivery of charged carbon quantum dots (CDs, from− 34 to+ 41 mV) to leaf cells of …

Background Stone cells in fruits of pear (Pyrus pyrifolia) negatively influence fruit quality
because their lignified cell walls impart a coarse and granular texture to the fruit flesh …

Plant cell wall-derived biomass serves as a renewable source of energy and materials with
increasing importance. The cell walls are biomacromolecular assemblies defined by a fine …

The plant cell wall is an interface of plant–microbe interactions. The ability of microbes to
decompose cell wall polysaccharides contributes to microbial pathogenicity. Plants have …

All plant cells are encased in primary cell walls that determine plant morphology, but also
protect the cells against the environment. Certain cells also produce a secondary wall that …

Highlights•Long term human Space exploration will require the growth of plants for food and
materials in Space.•This will require the design of optimised multi-purpose crops in tandem …

Fruit rind plays a pivotal role in alleviating water loss and disease and particularly in
cracking resistance as well as the transportability, storability and shelf‐life quality of the fruit …
