Developmental changes in collenchyma cell-wall polysaccharides in celery (Apium graveolens L.) petioles

Abstract Background Collenchyma cells occur widely in eudicotyledons and provide mechanical support for growing organs. At maturity, the cells are elongated and have thick, non-lignified walls, which in celery contain cellulose and pectic polysaccharides, together with xyloglucans and heteroxylans a...
