Deconstructing the Cell Wall
Open accessAbstract
Any microorganism that attempts to colonize a plant must contend with the cell wall. One of the most conspicuous effects of microorganisms on plant cell walls is enzymic degradation. Our interpretation of the significance of this depends on our concept of the plant cell wall, which, however, is paradoxical. On the one hand, the wall is an inert mechanical support and barrier; on the other hand, the wall is a dynamic, metabolically active organelle (Robinson, 1991, and refs. therein). The wall is a nutritional source for microorganisms and animals, yet it contains noxious peroxidases, phenolics, and activated oxygen (Cooper, 1984). The wall is mainly carbohydrate, yet its proteins are disproportionately studied (Showalter, 1993). Degradation poses another paradox. On the one hand, plant cell walls are the world's most abundant source of Glc and other sugars; on the other hand, parts of it are resistant to degradation. Since all the polymers of a plant cell wall are eventually degraded by microorganisms, for every type of chemical bond in the wall there must be an enzyme that can cleave it. Some polysaccharidases such as a-amylase are widespread in nature; others, such as ligninase, are very restricted in their distribution.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
