Plant cells biosynthesize primary cell walls (PCW) in all cells and produce secondary cell
walls (SCWs) in specific cell types that conduct water and/or provide mechanical support …

Secondary cell walls (SCWs) are produced by specialized plant cell types, and are
particularly important in those cells providing mechanical support or involved in water …

The plant cell wall is an important factor for determining cell shape, function and response to
the environment. Secondary cell walls, such as those found in xylem, are composed of …

Abstract The NAC (NAM, ATAF and CUC) family is one of the largest plant-specific
transcription factor (TF) families. Members of this family are implicated in plant growth …

To expand the cultivation area of apple (Malus× domestica Borkh.) and select resistant
varieties by genetic engineering, it is necessary to clarify the mechanism of salt and osmotic …

Highlights•The NAC-MYB-GRN model describes developmental lignin biosynthesis.•This
model is valid for all land plants.•Molecular hubs linking lignification with adaptation should …

Unraveling gene function is pivotal to understanding the signaling cascades that control
plant development and stress responses. As experimental profiling is costly and labor …

Background The secondary cell wall is a defining feature of xylem cells and allows them to
resist both gravitational forces and the tension forces associated with the transpirational pull …

Lignified stone cell content is a key factor used to evaluate fruit quality, influencing the
economic value of pear (Pyrus pyrifolia) fruits. However, our understanding of the regulatory …
