Impact of acidic pH on plant cell wall polysaccharide structure and dynamics: insights into the mechanism of acid growth in plants from solid-state NMR (2018, background): “When the primary cell wall is clamped to a constant-force extensometer, the wall is found to extend readily in acidic buffer, in the absence of auxin, while almost no extension is found at neutral pH (Cosgrove 2000; Durachko and Cosgrove 2009; Ezaki et al. 2005).”
