Plant cell walls have multiple functions, including determining cell shape and size, cell-cell adhesion, controlling cell differentiation and growth, and promoting abiotic and biotic stress tolerance. This virtual issue introduces the physiological functions of cell walls in growth and environmental responses. The articles detail research on (1) embryogenesis and seed development, (2) vegetative growth, (3) reproductive growth, and (4) environmental responses. These articles, published in the Journal of Plant Research, will provide valuable information for future research on the function and dynamics of cell walls at various growth stages, and in response to environmental factors.
