This structure comprises three interconnected and independent structural networks (cellulose, hemicellulose and/or lignin) that constitute an essential scaffold to protect the cell and therefore play a crucial role in plant cell biology. Although widely regarded as a static compartment, the cell wall shows a remarkable plasticity in structure and composition. The study of cell wall components and the interaction among different structural networks allows us to gain knowledge about the synthesis, assembly of the cell wall components and molecular basis of cell wall plasticity.Maize is an important crop worldwide due to its uses for food, forage and bioethanol production. For this reason, it is a suitable plant model for studying the cell wall plasticity in response to deficiencies in at least one of the three main structural networks of the cell wall. The overall aim of the present study is to elucidate the mechanisms associated with the structural plasticity of the cell wall, paying special attention to the biosynthesis of the different polysaccharides that form plant cell wall.
