X Abstract

Abstract  It has been well known that auxin induces cell elongation through its effect on modifications of the cell wall. The present review will discuss cell wall modifications, physical and biochemical, as the background of the former, based on the experimental results from our laboratory and from others, with the historical background. Discussions will particularly put stress on the auxin effect on the cell wall in terms of the following studies, namely, (1) measurements of the mechanical property of the cell wall, and (2) biochemical studies on the polysaccharide molecules of the cell wall.
