STUDIES OF WOOD: I. THE CELL WALL

Abstract
A brief review of literature relating to the nature of the cell wall is presented. The difficulty of separating lignin from cellulose is stressed, and attempts to effect separation by the use of mild solvents are described. The torus, pit membrane and border of bordered pits are more resistant to solution than the rest of the wall. The possibility of enzymatic analysis of the wall is noted.
