Architecture of the dynamic fungal cell wall

open access: yesNature Reviews Microbiology, 2022
The fungal cell wall is essential for growth and survival, and is a key target for antifungal drugs and the immune system. The cell wall must be robust but flexible, protective and shielding yet porous to nutrients and membrane vesicles and receptive to ...

The Fungal Cell Wall: Candida, Cryptococcus, and Aspergillus Species

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The fungal cell wall is located outside the plasma membrane and is the cell compartment that mediates all the relationships of the cell with the environment. It protects the contents of the cell, gives rigidity and defines the cellular structure.

A wall with integrity: surveillance and maintenance of the plant cell wall under stress

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2020
The structural and functional integrity of the wall needs to be constantly monitored and fine-tuned to allow for growth while preventing mechanical failure.

The Role of Auxin in Cell Wall Expansion

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018
Plant cells are surrounded by cell walls, which are dynamic structures displaying a strictly regulated balance between rigidity and flexibility. Walls are fairly rigid to provide support and protection, but also extensible, to allow cell growth, which is

Cell Wall

open access: yesAtlas of Ultrastructure Interaction Proteome Between Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus and Gold Nanoparticles, 2008
This chapter covers our present knowledge of cell wall proteomics highlighting the distinctive features of cell walls and cell wall proteins in relation to problems encountered for protein extraction, separation and identification. It provides clues to design strategies for efficient cell wall proteomic studies.

Acceleration of Aril Cracking by Ethylene in Torreya grandis During Nut Maturation

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Torreya grandis ‘Merrillii’ is a famous nut with great nutritional value and high medicinal value. Aril cracking is an important process for seed dispersal, which is also an indicator of seed maturation. However, the cracking mechanism of T. grandis aril

Plant cell walls [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2017
Plants are able to generate large leaf surfaces that act as two-dimensional solar panels with a minimum investment in building material, thanks to a hydrostatic skeleton. This requires high intracellular pressures (up to 1 MPa), which depend on the presence of strong cell walls.

Cell wall associated immunity in plants

open access: yesStress Biology, 2021
The plant cell wall is the first physical and defensive barrier against pathogens. The plant cell wall usually undergoes dynamic remodeling as an immune response to prevent infection by pathogens.

The role of pectin phase separation in plant cell wall assembly and growth

open access: yesThe Cell Surface, 2021
A rapidly increasing body of literature suggests that many biological processes are driven by phase separation within polymer mixtures. Liquid-liquid phase separation can lead to the formation of membrane-less organelles, which are thought to play a wide
