Wen Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) wirklich schätzte, dem schenkte er eine seiner Zeichnungen, die schon zu Lebzeiten des Künstlers nicht nur Gunstbeweis, sondern auch begehrte Sammelobjekte waren.

The cell wall and its constituent polysaccharides and proteins control nearly all plant-based biological and biophysical processes. Understanding the cell wall is, therefore, not only fundamental to the plant sciences but is also pertinent to aspects of human and animal nutrition and health as well as plant-microbe and plant-animal interactions. In The Plant Cell Wall: Methods and Protocols, experts in the field describe detailed methods which are currently being applied to investigate the many aspects of the plant cell wall including its structure, biochemical composition, and...
