The plant cytoskeleton-cell-wall continuum

Trends in Cell Biology, 1993
Two of the most challenging mysteries of morphogenesis are how cells receive positional information from neighbouring cells and how receipt of this information triggers events that initiate cell differentiation. The concept that the cytoskeleton and éxocellular matrix' (ECM) form an interactive scaffold for perception and transduction of positional ...

Plant Cell-Walls

1984
Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of plant cell-walls. The cell wall is an envelope that encases the plant cell. The wall must be rigid enough to give the plant strength and form, and yet, if necessary, it must yield freely to facilitate growth.

Isolation and Characterization of Plant Cell Walls and Cell Wall Components

1986
Publisher 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.

The ins and outs of plant cell walls

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2006
New findings reveal that many membrane proteins undergo regulated trafficking between intracellular compartments and the plasma membrane. This also appears to be a common regulatory mechanism in the control of cell wall metabolism.

Plant cell walls as targets for biotechnology

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 1998
Plants are the sources of major food, feed, and fiber products that are used globally. This past year has seen advances in our understanding of the enzymes that modify wall architecture, the cloning of the first cellulose synthase gene, and revisions to the lignin biosynthetic pathway.

Genomics of plant cell wall biogenesis

Planta, 2005
bidopsis genome reveal more than 1000 genes encoding cell-wall-related proteins encompassing precursor-gen erating enzymes, synthases and glycosyl transferases, structural proteins, and a host of enzymes involved in polysaccharide modification and depolymerization (Carpita et al. 2001).

Biosynthesis of plant cell wall polysaccharides

The FASEB Journal, 1994
The cell wall is the principal structural element of plant form. Cellulose, long crystals of several dozen glucan chains, forms the microfibrillar foundation of plant cell walls and is synthesized at the plasma membrane. Except for callose, all other noncellulosic components are secreted to the cell surface and form a porous matrix

The lignin fraction of plant cell walls

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1978
Methods are discussed for determining lignin in plant cell walls. The increase in apparent lignin content that may occur as a result of artifacts produced during food preparation is also discussed. The phenolic components, including lignin, of cell walls separated from 12 vegetable, fruit, and cereal foods are determined.

Mineral components of plant cell walls

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1978
Plant cell walls that are secondarily thickened contain silicon and metal cations. The silicon occurs predominantly as silica (SiO2.nH2O) deposited in intimate association with the organic components of the walls and, according to recent evidence, as an integral constituent of polyuronides. Relatively large amounts of deposited (i.e., solid) silica are
