The plant cell wall is the first physical and defensive barrier against pathogens. The plant
cell wall usually undergoes dynamic remodeling as an immune response to prevent …

Plant cell walls consist of carbohydrate, protein, and aromatic compounds and are essential
to the proper growth and development of plants. The carbohydrate components make up∼ …

Plant cell walls are complex and dynamic structures that play important roles in growth and
development, as well as in response to stresses. Pectin is a major polysaccharide of cell …

Pectin is structurally and functionally the most complex polysaccharide in plant cell walls.
Pectin has functions in plant growth, morphology, development, and plant defense and also …

Recent progress in the identification and characterization of pectin biosynthetic proteins and
the discovery of pectin domain–containing proteoglycans are changing our view of how …

The plant cell wall is composed of polysaccharides and proteins. In addition, some cells
have walls impregnated with lignin. In all cases, the polysaccharides constitute the major …

Main conclusion Recent publications have increased our knowledge of how pectin
composition and the degree of homogalacturonan methylesterification impact the …

The ability of a plant cell to expand is largely defined by the physical constraints imposed by
its cell wall. Accordingly, cell wall properties have to be regulated during development. The …

Pectin represents a very heterogeneous biopolymer whose functionality remains largely
puzzling. The link between the pectin fine structure and functional properties with relevance …

The apical wall of growing pollen tubes must be strong enough to withstand the internal
turgor pressure, but plastic enough to allow the incorporation of new membrane and cell …
