Transcriptional regulation of grass secondary cell wall biosynthesis: playing catch-up with Arabidopsis thaliana

Secondary cell wall synthesis occurs in specialized cell types following completion of cell enlargement. By virtue of mechanical strength provided by a wall thickened with cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin, these cells can function as water-conducting vessels and provide structural support. Seve...
