Plant cells are surrounded by a strong polysaccharide-rich cell wall (CW) that shapes the overall form, growth, and development. CO 2 fixation by plants counteracts the greenhouse effect but the key question is whether it is sufficient to control the overall global warming.

Feb 6, 2020 · We discuss specific cases in crops of interest carrying cell wall modifications that enhance tolerance to climate change-related stresses; from cereals such as rice, wheat, barley, or maize to dicots of interest such as brassica oilseed, cotton, soybean, tomato, or potato.

Sep 9, 2019 · Plant cell walls contain the turgor pressure prevalent in plant cells and provide structural support during growth as well as protection from biotic and abiotic stresses.

Dec 15, 2023 · Growing plant cells assemble a strong yet extensible nanofibrillar structure on their surface, the primary cell wall, which physically limits cell growth and defines cell size and shape.
Feb 1, 2024 · We predict the next century of progress will include deciphering cell type–specific wall polymers; regulation at all levels of polymer production, crosslinks, and architecture; and how walls respond to developmental and environmental signals to drive plant success in diverse environments.
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.
Oct 6, 2021 · Plant cell walls have multiple functions, including determining cell shape and size, cell–cell adhesion, controlling cell differentiation and growth, and promoting abiotic and biotic stress tolerance.
