Plant architecture fundamentally differs from that of other multicellular organisms in that
individual cells serve as osmotic bricks, defined by the equilibrium between the internal …

Plants have evolved a repertoire of monitoring systems to sense plant morphogenesis and
to face environmental changes and threats caused by different attackers. These systems …

Sensing and signaling of cell wall status and dynamics regulate many processes in plants,
such as cell growth and morphogenesis, but the underpinning mechanisms remain largely …

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 …

Cell walls surround all plant cells, and their composition and structure are modified in a
tightly controlled, adaptive manner to meet sometimes opposing functional requirements …

The plant cell wall is composed of polysaccharides and proteins. In addition, some cells
have walls impregnated with lignin. In all cases, the polysaccharides constitute the major …

Plant cell walls have the remarkable property of combining extreme tensile strength with
extensibility. The maintenance of such an exoskeleton creates nontrivial challenges for the …

Mechanical signals play many roles in cell and developmental biology. Several
mechanotransduction pathways have been uncovered, but the mechanisms identified so far …

One of the defining features of plants is a body plan based on the physical properties of cell
walls. Structural analyses of the polysaccharide components, combined with high-resolution …

Plant cell walls are complex, dynamic cellular structures essential for plant growth,
development, physiology and adaptation. Plant Cell Walls provides an in depth and diverse …
