cellwallrelated
Cellwallrelated is a term used in biological literature to refer to topics involving cell walls, the extracellular matrices that surround many prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. It encompasses composition, structure, biosynthesis, remodeling, and interactions with environmental factors and signaling networks.
In plants, cell walls are primarily cellulose microfibrils in a matrix of hemicelluloses and pectin, with lignin
Plant cell walls: primary walls during growth; secondary walls added in specialized tissues; plasmodesmata connect cells;
Biosynthesis: cellulose synthase complexes at the plasma membrane synthesize cellulose; matrix polysaccharides synthesized in Golgi and
Clinical and industrial relevance: antibiotics target peptidoglycan synthesis; plant pathogens deploy cell wall-degrading enzymes; industrial processes
