Plant cell expansion: scaling the wall.

Abstract excerpt

The regulation of plant cell size and shape is poorly understood at the molecular level. Recently, two loci required for normal cell expansion in Arabidopsis were cloned. They both encode enzymes involved in the construction of the cell wall. These studies are the first promising examples of the use of Arabidopsis molecular genetics for the study of wall synthesis and assembly during plant cell elongation.
