The herbicide isoxaben is a highly specific and potent inhibitor of cellulose synthesis in
plants. Nevertheless, suspension‐cultured cells can be habituated to grow in high …

The plant cell wall is a sugar-rich matrix that surrounds every plant cell, providing structural
support and acting as a first line of defense against pests and pathogens. As cell walls …

The plant cell wall determines cell shape and is the main barrier against environmental
challenges. Perturbations in the cellulose content of the wall lead to global modifications in …

Cellulose is the most characteristic component of plant cell walls, and plays a central role in
plant mechanical strength and morphogenesis. Despite the fact that cellulose synthase …

Background Plant growth is a complex process involving cell division and elongation.
Arabidopsis thaliana hypocotyls undergo a 100-fold length increase mainly by cell …

Complete cellulose synthesis is required to form functional cell walls and to facilitate proper
cell expansion during plant growth. AtCESA2 is a member of the cellulose synthase A family …

Thaxtomin A, a phytotoxin produced by Streptomyces eubacteria, is suspected to act as a
natural cellulose synthesis inhibitor. This view is confirmed by the results obtained from new …

2, 6-Dichlorobenzonitrile (DCB; Fig. 1A) was reported to inhibit cellulose synthesis more
than 30 years ago (Hogetsu et al., 1974) and has subsequently been used in numerous …

Herein, we sought to explore the contribution of cellulose biosynthesis to the shape and
morphogenesis of hexagonal seed coat cells in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) …

Cellulose is an abundant biopolymer and a prominent constituent of plant cell walls.
Cellulose is also a central component to plant morphogenesis and contributes the bulk of a …
