The plant cell wall is a dynamic and complex structure that plays a crucial role in plant growth, development, and defense. It is composed of a primary cell wall, which is flexible to accommodate cell growth, and a secondary cell wall, which provides mechanical support and conducts water. Recently, the importance of the plant cell wall for plant stress resilience has been increasingly recognized. This structure not only provides physical support and protection but also actively participates in signaling and adaptive responses to environmental challenges. Despite the recognition of its importance, detailed studies on the mechanisms of the plant cell wall in stress responses are still limited. Research has been conducted across various plant species and stress types, highlighting the need for comprehensive studies to better understand the plant cell wall's role in stress resilience.
This research topic aims to elucidate how the plant cell wall responds to both biotic and abiotic stresses. By compiling studies on these responses, we expect to gain a comprehensive understanding of the functions of the plant cell wall under stress conditions. Additionally, this understanding can be applied to the production of crops that are tolerant to various stresses, thereby improving agricultural productivity and resilience in the face of climate change and increasing agricultural demand.
To gather further insights into the plant cell wall's role in stress resilience, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Structural modifications of the plant cell wall under biotic and abiotic stresses.
- Reinforcement of the plant cell wall in stress conditions.
- Defense mechanisms of the plant cell wall against biotic stress.
- Signaling molecules derived from the plant cell wall in stress conditions.
- Functional roles of the plant cell wall in stress resistance.
- Relationship between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the plant cell wall.
- Cell wall responses to heavy metal exposure.
Please note that purely descriptive studies, including those that merely catalog structural changes, modifications, or components of the plant cell wall without providing mechanistic insights, physiological relevance, or applications relating to plant stress responses, will not be considered for review. Submissions must go beyond descriptive analysis and offer substantial contributions to the understanding of how the plant cell wall functions in stress conditions, including the underlying mechanisms, signaling pathways, and adaptive responses.
