An ever growing collection of cell wall mutants is yielding new insights into the mechanisms underlying the synthesis and assembly of cell walls in plants. In this review, we will provide an update on the use of genetic tools in plant cell wall research and we will discuss the lessons that can be drawn from the study of the first generation of mutants.

Isolation of the Cell Wall [PDF]
, 2016 This chapter describes a method allowing the purification of the cell wall for studying both polysaccharides and proteins. The plant primary cell wall is mainly composed of polysaccharides (90-95 % in mass) and of proteins (5-10 %). At the end of growth, specialized cells may synthesize a lignified secondary wall composed of polysaccharides (about 65 %)

The contribution of cell wall proteins to the organization of the yeast cell wall
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 1999Our knowledge of the yeast cell wall has increased rapidly in the past few years, allowing for the first time a description of its structure in molecular terms. Two types of cell wall proteins (CWPs) have been identified that are covalently linked to beta-glucan, namely GPI-CWPs and Pir-CWPs.

The Mycobacterial cell wall contains a peptidoglycan—glycolipid complex and various more or less defined glycolipid fractions. The detailed chemical structure of the peptidoglycan and the glycolipid (a mycolate of an arabinogalactan) is discussed.

Aspergillus Cell Wall and Biofilm
Mycopathologia, 2014The fungal cell is surrounded by a cell wall that acts as a sieve and a reservoir for effector molecules that play an active role during infection. This cell wall is essential for fungal growth as well as for resisting host defense mechanisms. The Aspergillus fumigatus cell wall is almost exclusively composed of polysaccharides.

Composition of plant cell walls
Zeitschrift f�r Lebensmittel-Untersuchung und -Forschung, 1995The present study reviews the most recent research published (starting approximately in the 1980s) on the composition of plant cell walls, with a description of the polysaccharides contained in the microfibrillar and amorphous phases: cellulose, hemicellulose and pectic substances, as well as the other components: lignin, proteins and enzymes ...

One of the most striking differences between animals and plants at the cellular level is the possession of true cell walls by the latter; indeed, in many cases we identify cell types in higher plants by the structure of their cell walls. This is an important consideration because it implies that cell wall structure is closely related to the function of

Isolation and Characterization of Plant Cell Walls and Cell Wall Components
1986Publisher Summary This chapter describes the methods used for isolating and characterizing the noncellulosic polysaccharides of the primary walls of suspension-cultured sycamore cells. These procedures are applicable to the study of other types of cell walls.

Deconstructing the Chlamydial Cell Wall
2016The evolutionary separated Gram-negative Chlamydiales show a biphasic life cycle and replicate exclusively within eukaryotic host cells. Members of the genus Chlamydia are responsible for many acute and chronic diseases in humans, and Chlamydia-related bacteria are emerging pathogens.

Complete substitution of a secondary cell wall with a primary cell wall in Arabidopsis
Nature Plants, 2018The bulk of a plant's biomass, termed secondary cell walls, accumulates in woody xylem tissues and is largely recalcitrant to biochemical degradation and saccharification1. By contrast, primary cell walls, which are chemically distinct, flexible and generally unlignified2, are easier to deconstruct.
