Plant cells build nanofibrillar walls that are central to plant growth, morphogenesis and
mechanics. Starting from simple sugars, three groups of polysaccharides, namely, cellulose …

Extracellular matrixes (ECMs), such as the cell walls and biofilms, are important for
supporting cell integrity and function and regulating intercellular communication. These …

Plant cell wall biosynthesis is a complex and tightly regulated process. The composition and
the structure of the cell wall should have a certain level of plasticity to ensure dynamic …

In recent decades, significant progress has been made on the development of low
environmental impact plastic materials, as alternatives to conventional plastics for food …

The structural and functional integrity of the cell wall needs to be constantly monitored and
fine‐tuned to allow for growth while preventing mechanical failure. Many studies have …

Many phytopathogens secrete cell wall degradation enzymes (CWDEs) to damage host
cells and facilitate colonization. As the major components of the plant cell wall, cellulose and …

Modification of hydrocolloids to alter their functional properties using chemical methods is
well documented in the literature. There has been a recent trend of adopting eco-friendly …

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 …

Cellulose, a natural linear biopolymer composed of hierarchically arranged cellulose
nanofibrils, presents a compelling avenue for sustainable nanocellulose synthesis from …

Subcritical water is a “green” method of extraction and modification of pectin being explored
in recent times. While the conventional acid extraction degrades the side chains and …
