Expansins are cell wall loosening agents, known for their endogenous function in cell wall
extensibility. The A rabidopsis expansin‐like A 2 (EXLA 2) gene was identified by its down …

Expansins were originally identified as cell wall‐loosening proteins. The existence and
various roles of expansins have been discovered in many plants. Expansins are encoded by …

Plant expansins are structural cell wall‐loosening proteins implicated in several
developmental processes and responses to environmental constraints and pathogen …

Expansins are cell-wall-loosening proteins that induce stress relaxation and extension of
plant cell walls. To evaluate their hypothesized role in cell growth, we genetically …

Expansins were discovered as proteinaceous factors that have the capacity to induce
extensibility and stress relaxation of plant cell walls in a pH-dependent manner (McQueen …

Highlights•The distinction between expansins and expansin-like proteins is clarified.•Site-
directed mutagenesis reveals expansin's complex binding to plant cell walls.•Expansin …

Expansins are encoded by some phytopathogenic bacteria and evidence indicates that they
act as virulence factors for host infection. Here we analysed the expression of exl1 by …

Expansins are a class of proteins identified by their ability to induce the extension of isolated
plant cell walls. Expansins are encoded by an extensive multigene family in higher plants …

Expansins, cerato-platanins and swollenins (which we will henceforth refer to as expansin-
related proteins) are a group of microbial proteins involved in microbe-plant interactions …

Expansins are cell wall proteins which play a key function in basic processes of plant growth
and differentiation. It has been proposed that expansins are likely to be present in all land …
