For this week's #FluorescenceFriday, I bring you xyloglucan chains in the #PlantCellWalls of an Arabidopsis root. #Cellulose is also deposited in such chains, mirroring the underlying #microtubules. This pattern is new for #xyloglucan, though. Showing #AiryScan & #SRRF-microscopy images in plants!

Xyloglucan deficiency leads to a reduction in turgor pressure and changes in cell wall properties, affecting early seedling establishment Xyloglucan is believed to play a significant role in cell wall mechanics of dicot plants. Surprisingly, Arabidopsis plants defective in xyloglucan bio…
