Biotic stress and papillae composition in the plant cell wall
Plant cell walls serve a variety of purposes. It serves as the plant's initial line of defence against diseases and offers a structural foundation for plant growth. The cell wall must also maintain some flexibility so that it can quickly remodel in response to developmental, biotic, or abiotic stimuli. When exposed to various challenges, genes encoding enzymes that can synthesise or hydrolyze parts of the plant cell wall exhibit variable expression, which suggests they may help plants adapt to stress by changing the composition of the cell wall.
