Notes

Abstract: Secondary cell walls mediate many crucial biological processes in plants including
mechanical support, water and nutrient transport and stress management. They also
provide an abundant resource of renewable feed, fiber, and fuel. The grass family
contains the most important food, forage, and biofuel crops. Understanding the
regulatory mechanism of secondary wall formation in grasses is necessary for exploiting
these plants for agriculture and industry. Previous research has established a detailed
model of the secondary wall regulatory network in the dicot model species Arabidopsis
thaliana. Grasses, branching off from the dicot ancestor 140–150 million years ago,
display distinct cell wall morphology and composition, suggesting potential for a different
secondary wall regulation program from that established for dicots. Recently, combined
application of molecular, genetic and bioinformatics approaches have revealed more
transcription factors involved in secondary cell wall biosynthesis in grasses. Compared
with the dicots, grasses exhibit a relatively conserved but nevertheless divergent
transcriptional regulatory program to activate their secondary cell wall development and
to coordinate secondary wall biosynthesis with other physiological processes.
