Abstract

The cell wall is often pictured as a more-or-less random feltwork of cellulose microfibrils in association with other polysaccharide and protein complexes. There is evidence from morphology, morphogenesis and mechanics that the structures in the cell wall are far more regular and that their interactions are driven by their chemical and morphological properties. In particular, a model based on liquid crystal structures has more than morphological implications.
