'' Regulation of cell wall synthesis in land plants '' Prof Staffan Persson Department for Plant & Environmental Sciences (PLEN) Copenhagen Plant Science Center (CPSC) Copenhagen University DENMARK Thursday, September 29, 2022 11:00 Plant cell walls are exocellular structures that control plant cell morphology and thus regulate the shape of a plant. These walls consist largely of polysaccharides that are interlinked via bonds that can be changed to support expansion of plant cells. The bulk of the cell wall is produced inside of the cells, in the Golgi apparatus, and are then secreted to the apoplast and becomes incorporated into the growing cell walls. However, there are also polysaccharides that are produced at the cell surface, for example the major cell wall polymer cellulose. In this seminar Prof Persson will give an overview of his group’s work in elucidating how plant cells make cellulose and approaches that they have used to understand how cell wall synthesis is regulated.
