In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose—a major constituent of all plant cell walls—a team of Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers have captured images of the ...

Plant cell walls have a special ability to expand without breaking or weakening, which is crucial for plant growth. New research has shown that the cellulose skeleton of the plant cell wall is what ...

A plant cell wall's unique ability to expand without weakening or breaking -- a quality required for plant growth -- is due to the movement of its cellulose skeleton, according to new research ...

Plant cell walls, composed primarily of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectins, serve as dynamic structures that not only provide mechanical strength and protection but also regulate growth ...

Cellulose -- an integral component of plant cell walls -- is an important source of food, paper, textiles and biofuels, but how its creation is regulated within plant cells has remained unclear.

Cellulose - an integral component of plant cell walls - is an important source of food, paper, textiles and biofuels, but how its creation is regulated within plant cells has remained unclear.

The diversity of plant structures results from the three core building blocks of plant fiber - cellulose, hemicellulose and lignins - in the plant cell walls.

Ancymidol is a plant growth retardant which impairs gibberellin biosynthesis. It has been reported to inhibit cellulose synthesis by tobacco cells, based on its cell-malforming effects. To ascertain ...

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- A plant cell wall's unique ability to expand without weakening or breaking--a quality required for plant growth--is due to the movement of its cellulose skeleton, according ...
