AbstractYeast have long been known to possess a cell wall integrity (CWI) system, and recently an analogous system has been described for the primary walls of plants (PCWI) that leads to changes in plant growth and cell wall composition. A similar system has been proposed to exist for secondary cell walls (SCWI). However, there is little data to support this. Here, we analysed the stem transcriptome of a set of cell wall biosynthetic mutants in order to investigate whether cell wall damage, in this case caused by aberrant xylan synthesis, activates a signalling cascade or changes in cell wall synthesis gene expression. Our data revealed remarkably few changes to the transcriptome. We hypothesise that this is because cells undergoing secondary cell wall thickening have entered a committed programme leading to cell death, and therefore a SCWI system would have limited impact. The absence of transcriptomic responses to secondary cell wall alterations may facilitate engineering of the secondary cell wall of plants.

Tissue in Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Pinto bean bordering local lesions induced by tobacco mosaic virus showed cell wall deposition associated with paramural body formation in a narrow ring of viable cells extending one to three cell diameters around the lesions. Deposition, which led to secondary cell wall thickening, was greatest 3–4 days after inoculation, the time when the lesion stopped expanding. Secondary cell wall thickening, of similar appearance but less pronounced, was seen in tissue bordering local lesions which continued to expand; no significant secondary cell wall thickening was observed in leaves with a nonlocalized infection. Cells bordering mechanical lesions differed markedly in fine structure from cells bordering virus and chemical lesions. It is suggested that the deposition of extra cell wall material in the wall regions of cells bordering fully expanded local lesions is associated with virus localization.

Sucrose treatment of the hypocotyls of derooted 7-day-old sunflower seedlings stimulated growth of hypocotyls as measured by dry weight. The fresh weight of the hypocotyls was unaffected. Stimulatory effect of sucrose was much greater in the presence of the cotyledons than in their absence. Cotyledons also influenced the differentiation of primary phloem fibers in the hypocotyls of seedlings, although when cotyledons were removed, induction of some phloem fiber differentiation was possible by sucrose treatment alone. In the presence of the cotyledons, sucrose in the concentrations of 0.025 and 0.05 M greatly enhanced primary phloem fiber differentiation and secondary cell wall thickening. Stimulation of dry weight of the hypocotyls by sucrose treatment in the presence of the cotyledons may be due to enhanced secondary cell wall thickening.
