Cell Wall Biosynthesis in Plants
Cell Wall Biosynthesis in Plants
Cell wall biosynthesis is a fundamental process in plants that constructs the primary and secondary cell walls, essential for structural integrity, protection, and growth. The plant cell wall consists of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, which provide rigidity and resist external stress. Enzymes like cellulose synthase catalyze the synthesis of these cell wall components. Manipulating cell wall biosynthesis has practical applications in biotechnology, such as improving biofuel production by modifying cell wall composition for easier biomass conversion. Understanding the pathways involved in cell wall biosynthesis can also enhance crop resistance to pests and diseases, contributing to increased agricultural productivity.
