Cell Wall components • Cellulose • Other carbohydrates • Lignin (other polyphenolics) • proteins
Cell Wall componentsCarbohydrates • Classified by solubilities • Pectins – complex carbohydrates extracted in water using Calcium chelators • Hemicelluloses – soluble in 4M KOH • Microfibrillar components • Cellulose • Beta 1,4 mannans - algae • Beta 1,3 xylans - algae
Cell Wall components • Hemicelluloses • Xylans - common • Mannans – abundant in conifers • Arabinoglactans
Cell Wall components • Pectins • Polyuronic acids • Arabinans • Glactans
Cell Wall componentsNon - carbohydrate • Lignin – built of phenylpropane units that are highly cross-linked • Proteins – • Enzymes of the cell wall • Structural proteins – extensin being a very abundant protein
Cell Wall components • Pectins • Polyuronic acids • Arabinans • Glactans

Material for the rest of the class Chapter 2 – cell wall Chapter 10 – lipids Chapter 24 – secondary compounds Maybe some chapter 17 (hormones) Nothing from chapter 18
More Final exam information I will have questions from the last four papers I will have a page of structures – what type of molecule, how is it made, what is it used for? Somewhat cumulative but partly on material in the last section I will have a C3/C4 type question
The Cell wall is made of two or three structurally • independent networks • These networks interlace. • Cellulose and cross-linking glycans • Pectic polysaccarides • Structural proteins and/or phenylpropanoid network
Type I wall has about equal amounts of cellulose and xyloglucans Xyloglucans span the distance between microfibrils This is embedded in a pectin matrix which controls porosity
Type II wall has cellulose and glucuronoarabinoxylans Some Xyloglucans are still present Less pectin Also fairly low in structural proteins but do have phenylpropanoids

Cutin – polymeric network of oxygenated C16 and C18 fatty acids Inelastic and hydrophobic but NOT a significant barrier to water loss – pathogen defense - yes Suberin – similar but longer fatty acids, less oxygenated And linked to phenolics – more hydrophobic than cutin Aerial surfaces covered with waxes – extremely long Chain fatty acids – prevents water loss
Lignin - very resistant to solubilization 40% HCl used Made of linked phenylpropane units
