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 [...]

Chemical Changes in the Cell Wall: 5 Phenomenon | Plants

The following points highlight the five phenomenon that takes place because of the chemical changes in the cell wall. The phenomenon are: 1. Lignification 2. Cutinization 3. Suberinization 4. Mineralization 5. Mucilaginous Change. Phenomenon # 1. Lignification: In this phenomenon lignin is the substance of impregnation. Lignin is a phenolic polymer and contains three subunits namely-coumaryl, guiacyl and sinapyl-propane. It [...]

Origin of Cell Wall in Plants | Botany

In this article we will discuss about the origin of cell wall in plants. Initially middle lamella creates a new boundary between the two-daughter nuclei of a dividing cell. The components of cell wall deposit on either side of middle lamella to form the cell wall. In a non-vacuolated cell, nucleus is usually present at the centre where it divides. [...]
