Abstract
Cell walls have many critical roles in plant physiology and development including the control of cell shape, plant morphogenesis, mechanical strength, and water transport. In addition to the structural roles, recent research suggests that the plant cell surface, including the cell wall, plasma membrane, and middle lamella, plays important roles in many cellular and developmental processes (Nothnagel 1997). Signals present in or on cell walls have been shown to influence cell fate and to be involved in defense against insects and pathogens (Carpita and Gibeaut 1993). In addition to their roles in plant physiology and development, cell walls are the primary component of wood and are therefore, ecologically and economically important. Wood is by far the most abundant component of the terrestrial biomass and therefore has a significant influence upon the planetary carbon cycle and the global climate. Wood is also a leading industrial raw material and an important component of the global economy.
