Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Primary cell walls play important and diverse roles in the regulation of plant development. The cell wall is an integral part of plant cells and is mainly composed of polysaccharides and proteins. A dynamic reorganisation of the cell wall components is essential during different developmental processes that occur in plants.
This Special Issue welcomes original articles and reviews describing the cell wall, its structure and quantitative and qualitative changes in its composition during cell differentiation and/or during changes in cell fate due to the reaction of plants to biotic, abiotic, internal and external factors.
