Memory in the wall: expanding our understanding of the roles of plant cell walls
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 56-72, January 2026.Summary The plant cell wall, while providing mechanical support to cells, also dynamically adjusts its composition and structure in response to cellular and environmental cues. Recent findings indicate that plants exposed to cold stress alter the composition of cell wall polysaccharides and that this altered status primes the plants to overcome future,
