Biochemical Pathways of Major Wall Component Formation | Plant Cell
In this article we will discuss about the three main biochemical pathways of major wall component formation. The biochemical pathways are: 1. Polysaccharides 2. Protein 3. Lignin. Biochemical Pathway # 1. Polysaccharides: They are synthesized from sugar nucleotides by polysaccharide synthases (Glycosyltransferase). The monosaccharides glucose, galactose, mannose, xylose, arabinose, glucuronic acid, galacturonic acid and fucose etc. compose the wall polysaccharides. [...]
