Plant cell walls are important for a whole range of industrially important processes, from food processing to paper production and as a sustainable source of material for biofuels and renewable chemical production. Our focus has been on the woody, secondary cell wall since this constitutes the majority of plant biomass and we have two mains areas of research. Firstly, to maximize the potential of woody biomass by overcoming the particular problems associated with biomass composition and breakdown particular problems efficient use of the constituent. The secondary cell wall is composed predominantly of three polymers: cellulose, xylan and lignin. While cellulose and xylan may are potential sources of sugars for biofuels production lignin must be removed and utilized separately. Currently, our lack of basic understanding of how cell wall polymers are made, what controls cell wall quantity and composition and what physical properties different polymers confer upon the wall limit our ability to make beneficial changes to cell wall composition. Secondly, understanding the regulation of vascular tissue development with the aim of improving plant growth and biomass production. This is an excellent system for addressing fundamental question in plant development including how what regulates both the extent and orientation of cell division. A better understanding of this process will enable us to generate even bigger plants with greater biomass and/or crop yield.
