Wall Structure and Wall Loosening. A Look Backwards and Forwards
Abstract
The plant cell wall is a strong fibrillar network that gives each cell its stable shape. To enlarge, cells selectively loosen this network, enabling it to yield to the expansive forces generated by cell turgor pressure. Twenty-five years ago, cell wall loosening was mostly explored within the context of rapid auxin-induced growth, particularly in terms of the acid-growth hypothesis (19) proposed independently by Hager in Germany and by Cleland and Rayle in the USA. Discussion of cell wall structure centered on the influential “Albersheim model” first presented by Keegstra et al. (10) (Fig. 1A), and extension growth was widely conceived of as the result of enzymatic hydrolysis of matrix polysaccharides (12). ... Today, some new characters such as expansin, xyloglucan endotransglycosylase, and membrane-bound endoglucanases have made an entrance into this scene, forcing a re-evaluation of how wall enlargement is controlled. This brief history summarizes key concepts of cell wall loosening, a topic that inevitably is linked to our view of cell wall structure.

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.
