Plant cell walls

Abstract

Plant cell walls are complex, dynamic cellular structures essential for plant growth, development, physiology and adaptation. Plant Cell Walls provides an in depth and diverse view of the microanatomy, biosynthesis and molecular physiology of these cellular structures, both in the life of the plant and in their use for bioproducts and biofuels. Plant Cell Walls is a textbook for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, as well as a professional-level reference book. Over 400 drawings, micrographs, and photographs provide visual insight into the latest research, as well as the uses of plant cell walls in everyday life, and their applications in biotechnology. Illustrated panels concisely review research methods and tools; a list of key terms is given at the end of each chapter; and extensive references organized by concept headings provide readers with guidance for entry into plant cell wall literature.Cell wall material is of considerable importance to the biofuel, food, timber, and pulp and paper industries as well as being a major focus of research in plant growth and sustainability that are of central interest in present day agriculture and biotechnology. The production and use of plants for biofuel and bioproducts in a time of need for responsible global carbon use requires a deep understanding of the fundamental biology of plants and their cell walls. Such an understanding will lead to improved plant processes and materials, and help provide a sustainable resour…

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Xyloglucans are strongly associated with cellulose microfibrils in the walls of growing plant cells, forming xyloglucan bridges between the microfibrils.

    “Xyloglucans are strongly associated with cellulose microfibrils in the walls of growing plant cells, forming xyloglucan bridges between the microfibrils [40].”
  • Side-chains of fucosyl, glucosyluronic acid, and 4-O-methyl glucosyluronic acid residues are also present in small amounts in rhamnogalacturonan type I.

    “Side-chains of fucosyl, glucosyluronic acid, and 4-O-methyl glucosyluronic acid residues are also present in small amounts in RG-1 [40].”
  • Solubilized rhamnogalacturonan type I from primary cell walls treated with α-1,4-endo-polygalacturonase can account for 5% to 10% of the cell walls of dicotyledons and about 1% of monocotyledons.

    “Solubilized RG-1 from primary cell walls treated with α-1,4-endo-polygalacturonase can account for 5% to 10% of the cell walls of dicotyledons and about 1% of monocotyledons [40].”
  • Esterified pectins are located in the cell wall surrounding the cellulose-NCP matrix, while non-esterified homogalacturonan are located predominantly in the middle lamella and cell corner regions.

    “Esterified pectins are located in the cell wall surrounding the cellulose-NCP matrix, while non-esterified homogalacturonan are located predominantly in the middle lamella and cell corner regions [40].”
  • Primary cell walls also contain pectic polysaccharides that include homogalacturonan and rhamnogalacturonan types I and II.

    “In addition to cellulose and xyloglucans, primary cell walls also contain pectic polysaccharides that include homogalacturonan and rhamnogalacturonan types I and II [40].”

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.
