Salt stress is a major environmental stress that affects plant growth and development. Plants
are sessile and thus have to develop suitable mechanisms to adapt to high-salt …

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 …

Salt stress simultaneously causes ionic toxicity, osmotic stress, and oxidative stress, which
directly impact plant growth and development. Plants have developed numerous strategies …

Cell walls are highly dynamic structures that provide mechanical support for plant cells
during growth, development and adaptation to a changing environment. Thus, it is important …

Abstract Background Secondary cell walls (SCWs) form the architecture of terrestrial plant
biomass. They reinforce tracheary elements and strengthen fibres to permit upright growth …

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 …

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

Plant cells are surrounded by a strong polysaccharide-rich cell wall that aids in determining
the overall form, growth and development of the plant body. Indeed, the unique shapes of …

All plant cells are surrounded by a cell wall that determines the directionality of cell growth
and protects the cell against its environment. Plant cell walls are comprised primarily of …

Plants have evolved signaling mechanisms that guide growth away from adverse
environments that can cause yield losses. Root halotropism is a sodium-specific negative …
