The role of calcium in the mechanical strength of isolated cell walls of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. Wayne) hypocotyls has been investigated, using the Instron technique to measure the plastic extensibility (PEx) of methanolboiled, bisected hypocotyl sections and epidermal strips, and atomic

It has been proposed that cell wall loosening during plant cell growth may be mediated by the endotransglycosylation of load-bearing polymers, specifically of xyloglucans, within the cell wall. A xyloglucan endotransglycosylase (XET) with such activity has recently been identified in several plant s
## HYDROXYCINNAMIC ACIDS Hydroxycinnamic acids, such as ferulic, sinapic, caΓΎeic and p-coumaric acid, are found both covalently attached to the plant cell wall and as soluble forms in the cytoplasm. Esters and amides are the most frequently reported types of conjugates, whereas glycosides rarely oc
The amount of pectin held in cell walls by ionic bonds only was determined by extraction with cyclohexanediamine tetraacetic acid (CDTA) at room temperature, to remove calcium ions without degrading the galacturonan chains. Enzymic degradation was avoided by extracting the cell walls with phenol-ace
