Abstract

The cell wall is the hard layer outside the cell membrane, composed of cellulose, and provides strength to the plant body. Moreover, the tensile strength of the cell wall helps in maintaining the mechanical rigidity and expansion of cells. Any deformation to the cell wall will affect the vitality of the plants. Studies reveal the solubility of cellulose in alcohols, and here we report the study of endurance of cell wall when exposed to methanol. We employed a home-built light sheet microscopy system to visualize the time-dependent deterioration of the cell wall due to the intake of methanol by the plant. The studies were repeated for different concentrations of methanol and show a concentration-dependent degradation curve.
