A plant cell wall is arranged in layers and contains cellulose microfibrils, hemicellulose, pectin, lignin, and soluble protein. These components are organized into three major layers: the primary ...

Plant cells have a rigid cell structure. They are made up of a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, vacuole, nucleus, and chloroplasts. Plants feel firm because of their cellular walls.

The newly discovered algae species Streptofilum arcticum possesses a potentially highly flexible cell wall to help it survive ...

Our results indicate that modifications of cell wall structure and composition leading to e.g. loss of cell adhesion, can affect plant gas exchange independently of cuticle synthesis and guard cell ...

To maintain an energy-saving growth strategy in the absence of light, seedlings need signals generated by pectin in their cell walls. Kerry served as The Scientist’s news director until 2021. Before ...

The newly discovered algae species Streptofilum arcticum possesses a potentially highly flexible cell wall: When water is ...

Iowa State University scientists recently made a significant breakthrough in scientists’ ability to identify specific ...
