Cellulose synthase complex organization and cellulose microfibril structure [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions Series A, Mathematical, Physical, and Engineering Sciences, 2018 Cellulose consists of linear chains of β-1,4-linked glucose units, which are synthesized by the cellulose synthase complex (CSC). In plants, these chains associate in an ordered manner to form the cellulose microfibrils. Both the CSC and the local environment in which the individual chains coalesce to form the cellulose microfibril ...

Resonant soft X-ray scattering reveals cellulose microfibril spacing in plant primary cell walls [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 Cellulose microfibrils are crucial for many of the remarkable mechanical properties of primary cell walls. Nevertheless, many structural features of cellulose microfibril organization in cell walls are not yet fully described.

Cellulose Microfibril Formation by Surface-Tethered Cellulose Synthase Enzymes
ACS Nano, 2016 Cellulose microfibrils are pseudocrystalline arrays of cellulose chains that are synthesized by cellulose synthases. The enzymes are organized into large membrane-embedded complexes in which each enzyme likely synthesizes and secretes a β-(1→4) glucan.

Direct Measurement of Plant Cellulose Microfibril and Bundles in Native Cell Walls [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Plants use rigid cellulose together with non-cellulosic matrix polymers to build cell walls. Cellulose microfibrils comprise linear β(1,4)-glucan chains packed through inter- and intra-chain hydrogen-bonding networks and van der Waals forces.

The Cytoskeleton and Its Role in Determining Cellulose Microfibril Angle in Secondary Cell Walls of Woody Tree Species [PDF]
Plants, 2020 Recent advances in our understanding of the molecular control of secondary cell wall (SCW) formation have shed light on molecular mechanisms that underpin domestication traits related to wood formation. One such trait is the cellulose microfibril angle (
