Cell wall assembly

Plant cell walls are complex, heterogeneous structures composed mainly of polymers, such as cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignins. In spite of several decades of research, cell wall assembly and the biosynthesis and ultimate biodegradative pathways of individual polymers are still far from being fully understood. One simple example will suffice Even today, no enzyme capable of catalyzing cellulose formation in vitro has been obtained.

Pectins are important in cell wall assembly and detailed information of their structure will help to elucidate the relationship between the structures and physical properties. One possible approach is the chemical degradation of pectins. The specific degradation of the methyl esterified galacturonic acid residues of pectin to the corresponding...

At coarser levels of control, there are large-scale cytoskeletal effects upon the pattern and site of cell wall assembly and the whole process is closely linked to the cell cycle.
