Imaging Cell Wall Architecture in Single Zinnia elegans Tracheary Elements

Posted onAuthorHoi-Ying Holman

The chemical and structural organization of the plant cell wall was examined in Zinnia elegans tracheary elements (TEs), which specialize by developing prominent secondary wall thickenings underlying the primary wall during xylogenesis in vitro. Three imaging platforms were used in conjunction with chemical extraction of wall components to investigate the composition and structure of single Read More …
