What is it about?
By performing analyses on the structure of cell wall polysaccharides and on the expression of defence-related genes, we were able to demonstrate a link between the degree of acetylation on xylan and heterotrimeric G-protein-related immune deficiencies.

Why is it important?
The fine structure of the plant cell wall can to a certain extent be manipulated by genetic modification. This article reveals a link between cell wall molecular structure and plant immune responses, which may direct future efforts to improve plant defence.
