Presumably, the shock treatments that elicit bursting disrupt the balance of wall synthesis and lysis responsible for cell wall extension. |
Studies on the bamboo cell wall have focussed mainly on fully elongated and mature fibres. |
The outermost layer of the cell wall is composed of diverse proteins bearing polysaccharide side chains composed of mannose. |
This would also increase the sloughing off of cell wall surface polymers in the culture medium. |
Proteins involved with cell wall biogenesis, which display low connectivity levels, have a clear trend of later appearance. |
Fungal cells maintain a very high turgor pressure, so the integrity of the cell wall is a critical matter. |
