Most plant cells are surrounded by a rigid cell wall composed of many cellulose microfibrils embedded in a matrix. By taking up water from their environment, a strong hydrostatic force which pushes against the cell wall is created. Throughout this paper it will be assumed that growth occurs when thi
Within the plant cell wall, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamic acid (ferulic acid) has a clear role in polymer cross-linking. However, why this function appears largely restricted to the monomethoxylated compound and not to other hydroxycinnamates appearing in the wall is less evident. Since radical coupli
