Aug 10, 2016 · The cell wall hosts a wide range receptors, pores and channels that regulate molecular movement and responses to local and long-range elicitors including hormones, sugars, proteins, and RNAs. Consistent with a role in many processes, plant cell wall structure is incredibly varied, not only between plant species but also between tissue types.

Jun 29, 2024 · Plant cell walls are complex structures composed of various biomolecules. The primary components include: Cellulose: The most abundant component, forming microfibrils. Hemicellulose: Cross-linking glycans that interact with cellulose. Pectin: A group of polysaccharides that form a gel-like matrix.

The plant cell wall is an elaborate extracellular matrix that encloses each cell in a plant. It was the thick cell walls of cork, visible in a primitive microscope, that in 1663 enabled Robert Hooke to distinguish and name cells for the first time.
