De Coninck T, Desmet T, Van Damme E
J Exp Bot . 2024 Jul; 75(20):6206-6227. PMID: 38980746
Plant cell walls are complex, multifunctional structures, built up of polysaccharides and proteins. The configuration and abundance of cell wall constituents determine cellular elongation and plant growth. The emphasis of...
