Sumario:[EN] Much research has been conduct since cell walls were first depicted, when they were considered to be a mere inert material, such as the cement between cells, which only contributed to mechanical support. In recent decades especially, it has emerged with increasing evidence that the cell wall is an integral part of the cell, that it forms a continuum with the rest of the cellular components, and that it plays important roles in cell differentiation, signalling and thus in development processes, as well as in defence against abiotic and biotic stresses. This research highlighted that the composition and structure of the plant cell wall is surprisingly flexible and diverse, not only among plant species but also among types of tissues.
