On–Off Switches for Secondary Cell Wall Biosynthesis [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Plant, 2012
Secondary cell walls provide plants with rigidity and strength to support their body weight and ensure water and nutrient transport. They also provide textiles, timber, and potentially second-generation biofuels for human use. Genes responsible for synthesis of the different cell wall components, namely cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin, are ...

Functional Diversification and the Plant Secondary Cell Wall

Journal of Molecular Evolution, 2023
Much evidence exists suggesting the presence of genetic functional diversification in plants, though literature associated with the role of functional diversification in the evolution of the plant secondary cell wall (SCW) has sparsely been compiled and reviewed in a recent context.

Mutations of the secondary cell wall

Plant Molecular Biology, 2001
It has not been possible to isolate a number of crucial enzymes involved in plant cell wall synthesis. Recent progress in identifying some of these steps has been overcome by the isolation of mutants defective in various aspects of cell wall synthesis and the use of these mutants to identify the corresponding genes.

Transition of primary to secondary cell wall synthesis [PDF]

open access: yesScience Bulletin, 2016
The construction of a secondary cell wall is an important and necessary developmental decision that supports cell function and plant stature. Unlike the primary cell walls, which are initiated during cell division and develop along with the expansion of the cells, secondary cell walls are constructed after the cells have stopped growing.

Complete substitution of a secondary cell wall with a primary cell wall in Arabidopsis

Nature Plants, 2018
The bulk of a plant's biomass, termed secondary cell walls, accumulates in woody xylem tissues and is largely recalcitrant to biochemical degradation and saccharification1. By contrast, primary cell walls, which are chemically distinct, flexible and generally unlignified2, are easier to deconstruct.

Secondary Cell Wall Deposition in Developing Secondary Xylem of Poplar

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, 2010
Abstract Although poplar is widely used for genomic and biotechnological manipulations of wood, the cellular basis of wood development in poplar has not been accurately documented at an ultrastructural level. Developing secondary xylem cells from hybrid poplar (Populus deltoides x P.

Cellulose synthesis in the Arabidopsis secondary cell wall

Cellulose, 2004
The identification of genes responsible for cellulose synthesis has led to a significant advance in our understanding of the synthesis of this important polymer. The identification of these genes has arisen from the identification of cellulose deficient mutants.

The cell wall and secretory proteome of a tobacco cell line synthesising secondary wall

PROTEOMICS, 2009
Abstract The utility of plant secondary cell wall biomass for industrial and biofuel purposes depends upon improving cellulose amount, availability and extractability. The possibility of engineering such biomass requires much more knowledge of the genes and proteins involved in the synthesis, modification and assembly of cellulose ...

A cell wall–localized β-1,3-glucanase promotes fiber cell elongation and secondary cell wall deposition

Plant Physiology, 2023
Abstract 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, in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) fibers, in which the content of β-1,3-glucan
