Abstract:

Plant cell wall is a complex cross-linking network that provide mechanical support for plant cells during growth, development and adaptation to a changing environment. It has the functions of regulating plant morphology, resisting stress, transporting water, etc. In addition, most of the biomass accumulated by plant photosynthesis is stored in the cell wall. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the composition and structure of the cell wall for better utilization of plant energy. The nano-microstructure of plant cell wall is one of the frontier hotspots in plant research. With the development of new imaging technologies, a large number of studies had been conducted on the composition and structure of the cell wall. In this work, we summarized the composition, structure, imaging technology and mechanical property of the plant cell wall, in order to provide new ideas for studying plant cell wall.

Key words: plant cell wall, composition and structure, imaging technology, mechanical property
