2. Figure 1 THE-mediated monitoring of cell wall integrity.
The main load bearing element of the wall is a network of a highly ordered cellulose microfibrils (blue) cross-linked with hemicellulose (green). Growth occurs when this network is loosened to allow cell expansion. The THE receptor-like kinase monitors the integrity of this network and when it is perturbed activates a signal transduction pathway.
