Annual Review of Plant Physiology and Plant Molecular Biology, 1998
▪ Abstract  The nature of cell wall proteins is as varied as the many functions of plant cell walls. With the exception of glycine-rich proteins, all are glycosylated and contain hydroxyproline (Hyp). Again excepting glycine-rich proteins, they also contain highly repetitive sequences that can be shared between them. The majority of cell wall proteins

Wall Organization in Plant Cells
1959Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of the more recent evidence concerning the constitution of microfibrils in plant cell walls. The first formed wall, developed within 2 hours of the settling of a swarmer, consists of rather sparse microfibrils widely separated and in random arrangement.

Lignification in Plant Cell Walls
1997Cell wall lignification is a complex process occurring exclusively in higher plants; its main function is to strengthen the plant vascular body. This process involves the deposition of ill-defined phenolic polymers, the so-called lignins, on the extracellular polysaccharidic matrix.

ANISOTROPIC EXPANSION OF THE PLANT CELL WALL
Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology, 2005Plants shape their organs with a precision demanded by optimal function; organ shaping requires control over cell wall expansion anisotropy. Focusing on multicellular organs, I survey the occurrence of expansion anisotropy and discuss its causes and proposed controls.

Atomic force microscopy of plant cell walls, plant cell wall polysaccharides and gels
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 1997Methods developed for the routine imaging of polysaccharides by atomic force microscopy (AFM) have been used to image plant polysaccharides from higher plants (pectin) and algae (carrageenan). These methods have been extended to image K-carrageenan association in hydrated films.

Building a plant cell wall at a glance
Journal of Cell Science, 2018ABSTRACT Plant cells are surrounded by a strong polysaccharide-rich cell wall that aids in determining the overall form, growth and development of the plant body. Indeed, the unique shapes of the 40-odd cell types in plants are determined by their walls, as removal of the cell wall results in spherical protoplasts that are amorphic ...

Advances in Imaging Plant Cell Walls
Trends in Plant Science, 2019Understanding of cell wall architecture, including the crosslinking of cell wall polymers, provides crucial information for elucidating the relationship between cell wall structure and cell function. Moreover, examination of the cell wall informs efforts to improve biomass breakdown in bioreactor conditions.

The Growth of Plant Cell walls
1964Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the growth of plant cell walls. In the course of cell growth, that may involves an increase in cell surface by a factor somewhere between 10 and 105, the wall grows accordingly, retaining in this process a remarkable unity, constancy, and coherence of structure. Growth involves increase in thickness as well as

Cell wall carbohydrates as signals in plants
Seminars in Cell Biology, 1993Plant and fungal cells are surrounded by a cell wall rich in diverse polysaccharides and proteins. It has become apparent in recent years that the carbohydrates in the cell wall function not only to maintain cell shape and integrity, but also may serve as signals in plants.
