Cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin form structures called microfibrils, which are organized into macrofibrils that mediate structural stability in the plant cell wall.

A plant cell wall is arranged in layers and contains cellulose microfibrils, hemicellulose, pectin, lignin, and soluble protein. These components are organized into three major layers: the primary ...

The size and shape of rosettes determine the structure and properties of the cellulose microfibrils they make. After eliminating all CESAs from the Physco plant, another surprise emerged ...
