Abstract
From the nucleus to the apoplast: building the plant’s cell wall.
Highlights
The plant cell wall has a crucial role in any aspect of a plant’s life cycle and, as a result, cell wall research touches all aspects of plant biology (Keegstra, 2010)
Cosgrove continues by examining the factors that contribute to cell wall loosening, with an emphasis on the interaction between the different cell wall polymers
Anderson describes the knowledge gap we have between pectin structure and pectin biosynthesis
Summary
The plant cell wall has a crucial role in any aspect of a plant’s life cycle and, as a result, cell wall research touches all aspects of plant biology (Keegstra, 2010). J Bidhendi and Geitman (2016) review the area of the plant cell wall and morphogenesis. Jafari Bidhendi and Geitman describe how the structure and modification of cell wall polymers affect the mechanical properties of the cell wall. They present very interesting thoughts on pectin structure and how pectin modification contributes to the mechanical properties of the cell wall.
