Structure of Cell Wall (With Diagram) | Plants

In this article we will discuss about the structure of a cell wall in plants. This will also help you to draw the structure and diagram of cell wall in plants. Gross Structure of Cell Wall: A plant cell may consist of either primary wall only or the cell may contain both primary and secondary walls (Fig. 3.1). i. Primary [...]

Origin of Plasmodesmata in the Cell Wall | Plants

Plasmodesma (plural: plasmodesmata) is thin irregular cylinder of cytoplasm lined by plasmalemma, passing through fine pores in the cell walls, thus forming a connection between the cytoplasm of adjacent cells. They are found in higher plants and fluctuate widely in abundance and distribution. They are commonly present in primary pit fields and pit membranes of young and mature living cells [...]

Chemical Composition of Cell Wall (With Diagram) | Plants

The cell wall is mainly composed of carbohydrate rich materials. The major components of cell wall are cellulose, pectins, hemicelluloses, proteins and phenolics. The cell wall is a biphasic structure consisting of relatively rigid cellulosic microfibril embedded in gel-like non-cellulosic matrix. The microfibrillar phase consists of only cellulose (β1, 4-glucan) and the matrix is composed of non-cellulosic polysaccharides and other [...]
