In Planta Cell Wall Engineering: From Mutants to Artificial Cell Walls [PDF]
Plant and Cell Physiology, 2021 AbstractTo mitigate the effects of global warming and to preserve the limited fossil fuel resources, an increased exploitation of plant-based materials and fuels is required, which would be one of the most important innovations related to sustainable development.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Land plants inherited several traits from their green algal ancestors (Zygnematophyceae), including a polysaccharide-rich cell wall, which is a prerequisite for terrestrial survival.

Plant cell wall-mediated immunity: cell wall changes trigger disease resistance responses.
The Plant Journal, 2018 Plants have evolved a repertoire of monitoring systems to sense plant morphogenesis and to face environmental changes and threats caused by different attackers.

Cell Wall Biology: Perspectives from Cell Wall Imaging [PDF]
Molecular Plant, 2011 Polysaccharide-rich plant cell walls are important biomaterials that underpin plant growth, are major repositories for photosynthetically accumulated carbon, and, in addition, impact greatly on the human use of plants. Land plant cell walls contain in the region of a dozen major polysaccharide structures that are mostly encompassed by cellulose ...

Molecular architecture of the PBP2–MreC core bacterial cell wall synthesis complex
Nature Communications, 2017 Bacterial wall biosynthesis is a complex process that requires the coordination of multiple enzymes. Here, the authors structurally characterize the PBP2:MreC complex involved in peptidoglycan elongation and cross-linking, and demonstrate that its ...

Deconstructing the Cell Wall [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1994 Any microorganism that attempts to colonize a plant must contend with the cell wall. One of the most conspicuous effects of microorganisms on plant cell walls is enzymic degradation. Our interpretation of the significance of this depends on our concept of the plant cell wall, which, however, is paradoxical.

Characterization of the cell wall and cell wall proteins of Chromatium vinosum [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1980 Highly purified cell walls of Chromatium vinosum were isolated by differential centrifugation, with or without Triton X-100 extraction. The isolated material had a protein composition similar to that of cell walls obtained by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Twenty-two proteins were reproducibly detected by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 The plant cell wall is a dynamic network of several biopolymers and structural proteins including cellulose, pectin, hemicellulose and lignin. Cellulose is one of the main load bearing components of this complex, heterogeneous structure, and in this way,

The Role of Auxin in Cell Wall Expansion
International 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
