This article recounts, from my perspective of four decades in this field, evolving paradigms of
primary cell wall structure and the mechanism of surface enlargement of growing cell walls …

Plant cells build nanofibrillar walls that are central to plant growth, morphogenesis and
mechanics. Starting from simple sugars, three groups of polysaccharides, namely, cellulose …

Plant architecture fundamentally differs from that of other multicellular organisms in that
individual cells serve as osmotic bricks, defined by the equilibrium between the internal …

Homogalacturonan (HG) is the most abundant pectin subtype in plant cell walls. Although it
is a linear homopolymer, its modification states allow for complex molecular encoding. HG …

Diverse molecular processes regulate the interactions between plants and insect
herbivores. Here, we review genes and proteins that are involved in plant–herbivore …

Although trace elements are essential for life, environmental contamination due to metal
accumulation and overuse in various sectors, such as healthcare, agriculture, industry, and …

Cell walls are highly dynamic structures that provide mechanical support for plant cells
during growth, development and adaptation to a changing environment. Thus, it is important …

The structural and functional integrity of the cell wall needs to be constantly monitored and
fine‐tuned to allow for growth while preventing mechanical failure. Many studies have …

Invertases (INVs) and pectin methylesterases (PMEs) are essential enzymes coordinating
carbohydrate metabolism, stress responses, and sugar signaling. INVs catalyzes the …

During growth and morphogenesis, plant cells respond to mechanical stresses resulting
from spatiotemporal changes in the cell wall that bear high internal turgor pressure …
