The Role of Auxin in Cell Wall Expansion.
Mateusz Majda,Stéphanie Robert +1 more
TL;DR: This update elucidates the connection between hormonal signaling and cell wall synthesis and deposition and analyzes downstream targets of transcriptional auxin signaling, which are related to the cell wall and could be linked to acid growth and the action of wall-loosening proteins.

Phenylpropanoid Pathway Engineering: An Emerging Approach towards Plant Defense
TL;DR: This review portrays the current progress and challenges for phenylpropanoid pathway-based resistance from the current prospective to provide a deeper understanding of the pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell wall integrity maintenance during plant development and interaction with the environment
TL;DR: Current knowledge of plant cell wall integrity signalling is reviewed using selected recent findings and how the cell wall–plasma membrane interphase can act as a venue for sensing changes in the physical forces affecting plant development and stress responses is highlighted.

The Cell Biology of Cellulose Synthesis
TL;DR: This review summary and discussion of cellulose synthesis and regulatory aspects of the cellulose synthase complex, focusing on Arabidopsis thaliana, are summarized and discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Mechanism for Localized Lignin Deposition in the Endodermis
TL;DR: The findings in Arabidopsis provide a simple mechanistic model of how plant cells regulate lignin formation with subcellular precision and speculate that scaffolding of NADPH oxidases to the downstream targets of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) that they produce might be a widespread mechanism to ensure specificity and sub cellular precision of ROS action within the extracellular matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant cell walls throughout evolution: towards a molecular understanding of their design principles
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comprehensive plant cell wall model for the purpose of commercially viable lignocellulosic biofuel production as well as for the timber, textile, and paper industries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Re-constructing our models of cellulose and primary cell wall assembly
TL;DR: Computational results indicate that xyloglucan binds tightest to the hydrophobic surface of cellulose microfibrils, and wall extensibility may be controlled at limited regions (‘biomechanical hotspots’) where cellulose–cellulose contacts are made, potentially mediated by trace amounts of xylogucan.
