Secondary cell wall patterning—connecting the dots, pits and helices [PDF]
Open Biology, 2022 All plant cells are encased in primary cell walls that determine plant morphology, but also protect the cells against the environment. Certain cells also produce a secondary wall that supports mechanically demanding processes, such as maintaining plant ...

Enhancement of Secondary Cell Wall Formation in Poplar Xylem Using a Self-Reinforced System of Secondary Cell Wall-Related Transcription Factors [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 The secondary cell wall (SCW) in the xylem is one of the largest sink organs of carbon in woody plants, and is considered a promising sustainable bioresource for biofuels and biomaterials.

A cell wall–localized β-1,3-glucanase promotes fiber cell elongation and secondary cell wall deposition [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2023 β-1,3-glucanase functions in plant physiological and developmental processes. However, how β-1,3-glucanase participates in cell wall development remains largely unknown. Here, we answered this question by examining the role of GhGLU18, a β-1,3-glucanase,

A Transcriptomic Analysis of Xylan Mutants Does Not Support the Existence of a Secondary Cell Wall Integrity System in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Yeast have long been known to possess a cell wall integrity (CWI) system, and recently an analogous system has been described for the primary walls of plants (PCWI) that leads to changes in plant growth and cell wall composition.

Importance of Water in Maintaining Softwood Secondary Cell Wall Nanostructure. [PDF]
Biomacromolecules, 2021 Water is one of the principal constituents by mass of living plant cell walls. However, its role and interactions with secondary cell wall polysaccharides and the impact of dehydration and subsequent rehydration on the molecular architecture are still to

CcNAC6 Acts as a Positive Regulator of Secondary Cell Wall Synthesis in Sudan Grass (Sorghum sudanense S.) [PDF]
PlantsThe degree of forage lignification is a key factor affecting its digestibility by ruminants such as cattle and sheep. Sudan grass (Sorghum sudanense S.) is a high-quality sorghum forage, and its lignocellulose is mostly stored in the secondary cell wall.

The role of the secondary cell walls in plant resistance to pathogens [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Plant resistance to pathogens relies on a complex network of constitutive and inducible defensive barriers. The plant cell wall is one of the barriers that pathogens need to overcome to successfully colonize plant tissues.

Banana MaNAC1 activates secondary cell wall cellulose biosynthesis to enhance chilling resistance in fruit. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol J, 2023 Summary Chilling injury has a negative impact on the quantity and quality of crops, especially subtropical and tropical plants. The plant cell wall is not only the main source of biomass production, but also the first barrier to various stresses ...
