Resonant soft X-ray scattering reveals cellulose microfibril spacing in plant primary cell walls

Abstract Cellulose microfibrils are crucial for many of the remarkable mechanical properties of primary cell walls. Nevertheless, many structural features of cellulose microfibril organization in cell walls are not yet fully described. Microscopy techniques provide direct visualization of cell wall...
