Lignification of cell walls is characteristic of all higher plants except mosses. The mechanical strength of wood and sclerenchyma, which consist of lignified cells, depends on the volume and distribution of the cells in the plant organs. lignificationlignificationthe formation of wood by the deposition of LIGNIN in both primary and secondary cell walls. |
