Plant cell wall synthesis

The / -ICD catalyst (44) was used in the synthesis of epopromycin B, a plant cell wall synthesis inhibitor [67], and also in the synthesis of mycestericin E, a potent immunosuppressor [68].

In the absence of suitable cell wall mutants, DCB-adapted tomato cells provide an opportunity to characterise the pectin network of the plant cell wall. It should be noted that synthesis and secretion of hemicellulose is not inhibited but, in the absence of a cellulose framework for it to stick to, most of the xyloglucan secreted remains in soluble form in the cells culture medium (9, 10) while other non-cellulosic polysaccharides and other uronic-acid-rich polymers predominate in the wall.

Findings on the antiviral activity of 2 -C-methyl- and 3 -C-methyl-cy-tidines, and on the presence of poly-I in plant cell-walls have stimulated the synthesis of branched-sugar nucleosides90 by the usual methods, and some of their physiological activities have been summarized.405... 

Plants synthesize l,3-(3-glucanases that hydrolyze the glycans of fungal cell walls. Synthesis is induced by wounding as a defense reaction (see Box 20-E). These glycanases also function in the removal of callose.146...
