Plant cell wall-mediated immunity: cell wall changes trigger disease resistance responses.

open access: yesThe 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.

In Planta Cell Wall Engineering: From Mutants to Artificial Cell Walls [PDF]

open access: yesPlant 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.

Cell Wall Hydrolases in Bacteria: Insight on the Diversity of Cell Wall Amidases, Glycosidases and Peptidases Toward Peptidoglycan

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The cell wall (CW) of bacteria is an intricate arrangement of macromolecules, at least constituted of peptidoglycan (PG) but also of (lipo)teichoic acids, various polysaccharides, polyglutamate and/or proteins. During bacterial growth and division, there

Molecular architecture of the PBP2–MreC core bacterial cell wall synthesis complex

open access: yesNature 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 ...

Cell Wall Biology: Perspectives from Cell Wall Imaging [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular 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 ...

Progress and Opportunities in the Characterization of Cellulose – An Important Regulator of Cell Wall Growth and Mechanics

open access: yesFrontiers 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,

Characterization of the cell wall and cell wall proteins of Chromatium vinosum [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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

Cell Wall Proteome

open access: yes, 2007
In this chapter, we will focus on the contribution of proteomics to the identification and determination of the structure and function of CWPs as well as discussing new perspectives in this area. The great variety of proteins found in the plant cell wall is described.

Deconstructing the Cell Wall [PDF]

open access: yesPlant 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.
