The structural support of a plant depends on the unique balance between two elements: the strong, flexible cell wall provides ...

Mobile arrays of vacuole ripples are common in plant cells. Plant Cell Rep 17, 917–920 (1998) Yamamoto, Y. et al. Behavior of vacuoles during microspore and pollen development in Arabidopsis ...

Plant cells maintain structural integrity through a balance between the cell wall and the vacuole, which acts like a water balloon pressing against the wall. Damage to the cell wall can lead to ...

Water-filled vacuoles provide the inner pressure plant cells need for structural support. However, damage to the plant’s cell wall risks vacuole rupture and cell death. The Dagdas group at the ...
