Hormonal regulation of secondary cell wall formation
V Didi, P Jackson, J Hejátko - Journal of experimental botany, 2015 - academic.oup.com
Secondary cell walls (SCWs) have critical functional importance but also constitute a high
proportion of the plant biomass and have high application potential. This is true mainly for …
