Restricted cell elongation in <it>Arabidopsis </it>hypocotyls is associated with a reduced average pectin esterification level

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Cell elongation is mainly limited by the extensibility of the cell wall. Dicotyledonous primary (growing) cell walls contain cellulose, xyloglucan, pectin and proteins, but little is known about how each polymer class contributes to...
