Atomic force microscopy of plant cell walls, plant cell wall polysaccharides and gels

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 1997
Methods 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.

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.

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

Wall Organization in Plant Cells

1959
Publisher 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.

Advances in Imaging Plant Cell Walls

Trends in Plant Science, 2019
Understanding 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.

Lignification in Plant Cell Walls

1997
Cell 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.

Raman Imaging of Plant Cell Walls

2020
Raman imaging is a microspectroscopic approach revealing the chemistry and structure of plant cell walls in situ on the micro- and nanoscale. The method is based on the Raman effect (inelastic scattering) that takes place when monochromatic laser light interacts with matter.

Refractive Index of Plant Cell Walls

Applied Optics, 1974
Air was replaced with media of higher refractive indices by vacuum infiltration in leaves of cucumber, blackeye pea, tomato, and string bean plants, and reflectance of noninfiltrated and infiltrated leaves was spectrophotometrically measured. Infiltrated leaves reflected less light than noninfiltrated leaves over the 500-2500-nm wavelength interval ...
