Plants use their cell wall as part of their system for maintaining their shape and stiffness. The plant concentrates ions and other substances within the cell, which pulls in water by osmosis . The cell swells, pressing tightly against the cell wall. The swelling increases rigidity, or turgor ...

The plant cell wall is the first physical and defensive barrier against pathogens. The plant cell wall usually undergoes dynamic remodeling as an immune re
The growing cell wall in plants is a thin, strong and pliant extracellular layer, composed of cellulose microfibrils embedded in a hydrated matrix that is made of complex polysaccharides and a small amount of structural proteins. A cellulose microfibril consists of ∼36 (1,4)-linked β-D-...

wall. This Review describes the physics of wall growth and its regulation by cellular processes such as cellulose production by cellulose synthase, modulation of wall pH by plasma membrane H+-ATPase, wall loosening by expansin and signalling by plant hormones such as auxin and brassinosteroid. In ...
The plant cell wall is a highly organized composite that may contain many different polysaccharides, proteins, and aromatic substances. These complex matrices define the features of individual cells within the plant body. Ultimately, the plant wall functions as the determinant of plant morphology. The...
