Abstract

Plant cell walls represent the extracellular matrix of most plant cells (Carpita and Gibert 1993), the exceptions being wall-less endosperm cells in such species as Haemanthus. Cell walls are the site of cellulose, the world’s most abundant polymer. Besides cellulose, the cellulose microfibrils are embedded in a matrix of other structural non-cellulosic polysaccharides classified grossly as pectins, xylans, and xyloglucans that define some of the properties of the walls. Cells are connected together by a chiefly pectic layer called the middle lamellae. Secondary walls that are typical of xylem elements and woody tissues and in addition to the other components are lignified as well.
