Cellulose synthase complexes act in a concerted fashion to synthesize highly aggregated cellulose in secondary cell walls of plants

S Li, L Bashline, Y Zheng, X Xin… - Proceedings of the …, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
Cellulose, often touted as the most abundant biopolymer on Earth, is a critical component of
the plant cell wall and is synthesized by plasma membrane-spanning cellulose synthase (…

CSI1, PATROL1, and exocyst complex cooperate in delivery of cellulose synthase complexes to the plasma membrane

X Zhu, S Li, S Pan, X Xin, Y Gu - Proceedings of the …, 2018 - National Acad Sciences
Cellulose synthesis occurs exclusively at the plasma membrane by cellulose synthase
complexes (CSCs). Therefore, delivery of CSCs to discrete sites at the plasma membrane is …
