Expansins and cell wall expansion
The Plant Laboratory, Department of Biology, University of York Heslington, York YO15DD, UK
The subject of this review is the discovery of expansins and their role in plant cell wall expansion. The review is introduced with a summary of the importance of wall expansion in the control of plant cell growth, and a brief discussion of the nature of cell wall extension in plants. The role of expansins in wall extension and their mechanism of action will be reviewed, and, finally, the role of expansins in plant cell growth will be discussed.
Key words: Expansins, cell expansion, cell wall extension, plant growth
