Kinky: Beyond Cellulose: The Complex Biology of Plant Cell Walls, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This title offers several advantages: Intrigue: "Unveiling the Hidden Symphony" sparks curiosity about the complexity beyond cellulose. Clarity: "Plant Cell Walls" defines the focus. Deeper Look: "More Than Cellulose" emphasizes the title goes beyond a single component. Here's a breakdown of the content it could cover: Cellulose: The Foundation: Briefly acknowledge cellulose as the main component but not the whole story. A Concert of Molecules: Discuss the various polysaccharides, proteins, and other molecules that work together in the cell wall. Beyond Structure: Highlight the diverse functions of cell wall components, including: Defense against pathogens Regulation of plant growth and development Signaling between plants and their environment A World to Explore: Briefly mention the ongoing research into the intricate biology of cell walls and its potential applications in agriculture and bioengineering.
