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.

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
1986Publisher 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.

Genomics of plant cell wall biogenesis
Planta, 2005bidopsis 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, 1994The 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, 1978Methods 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, 1978Plant 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

Expansive growth of plant cell walls
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 2000The enlargement of plant cell walls is a key determinant of plant morphogenesis. Current models of the cell wall are reviewed with respect to their ability to account for the mechanism of cell wall enlargement. The concept of primary and secondary wall loosening agents is presented, and the possible roles of expansins, xyloglucan endotransglycosylase ...
