Cell wall synthesis and regulation in Nicotiana pollen tubes, a model tip-growing cell with a simple wall [ 2011 - 2013 ]

Research Grant

Researchers Newbigin Dr Edward J; Prof Anthony Bacic

Brief description Cell walls of plants determine the quality of most plant-based products and represent the world's largest renewable carbon resource. This project will address current gaps in our knowledge of wall structure and function at the molecular, genetic and biochemical levels using the relatively simple walls of tobacco pollen tubes as a model.
