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

Understanding the mechanism by which patterned gene activity leads to mechanical
deformation of cells and tissues to create complex forms is a major challenge for …

Assembly of cell wall polysaccharides into specific patterns is required for plant growth. A
complex of RAPID ALKALINIZATION FACTOR 4 (RALF4) and its cell wall–anchored …

Globally, fruits and vegetables are consumed as raw, processed, or as an additive,
accounting for approximately 50% of total food wastage. Among the fruits and vegetables …

Assessing the number of glucan chains in cellulose microfibrils (CMFs) is crucial for
understanding their structure–property relationships and interactions within plant cell walls …

Green algae display a wide range of extracellular matrix (ECM) components that include
various types of cell walls (CW), scales, crystalline glycoprotein coverings, hydrophobic …

In the model plant Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), the absence of the essential macro-
nutrient phosphate reduces primary root growth through decreased cell division and …

A communication system between plant cells and their surrounding cell wall is required to
coordinate development, immunity, and the integration of environmental cues. This …

Years ago, a classic textbook would define plant cell walls based on passive features. For
instance, a sort of plant exoskeleton of invariable polysaccharide composition, and probably …

We are entering an exciting century in the study of the plant organelles in the
endomembrane system. Over the past century, especially within the past 50 years …
