The Distribution of the Chemical Constituents Throughout the Cell Wall

Abstract

This paper is mainly a review of the work of Lange and co-workers ⁽¹⁾ on the distribution of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin in the cell wall of Swedish spruce (Picea excelsa), birch (Betula verrucosa) and cotton (Gossypium herbaceum) . Some views on optical methods for micro-analysis of the cell wall and future problems in cell wall chemistry are also included in this article.
