Cell-Wall Chemistry, Structure and Components

  • Chapter
Cell Components

Part of the book series: Modern Methods of Plant Analysis ((MOLMETHPLANT,volume 1))

Abstract

Plant cell walls give shape or rigidity as well as protection and support to plant cells and tissue. The cell walls are constructed not only of a single substance, but consist of many substances which are distinguished chemically and physically.
