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).

Cell wall carbohydrates as signals in plants

Seminars in Cell Biology, 1993
Plant 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.

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 ...

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.

Designing the deconstruction of plant cell walls

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2008
Cell wall architecture plays a key role in the regulation of plant cell growth and differentiation into specific cell types. Gaining genetic control of the amount, composition, and structure of cell walls in different cell types will impact both the quantity and yield of fermentable sugars from biomass for biofuels production.

Biosynthesis and properties of the plant cell wall

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2002
The characterization of cell wall mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana, combined with biochemical approaches toward the purification and characterization of glycosyltransferases, has led to significant advances in understanding cell wall synthesis and the properties of cell walls.
