  Botany online: Cell Wall - Secondary Walls   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The best-known deposited substance is perhaps lignin (discovered in 1839 by A. PAYEN as the fraction of cell walls insoluble in acids).
It is the basic unit of xylem- and strengthening elements (wood) and consists of polymerized phenylpropane units.
The disadvantage is that the bonds are irreversible, a stretching of the wall - and a growth of the cell - are impossible; strongly lignified cells die sooner or later.

Secondary cell walls are formed later by the protoplast and are therefore necessarily formed to the inside of the primary cell wall.
Secondary cell walls are not stretchable because lignin permanently binds cellulose microfibrils together; therefore cell growth and division stop once the secondary cell wall is produced.
For daughter cells to be equivalent to the original cell, all components have to double in number and be distributed equally between daughter cells.

 Cell wall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When a cell wall is removed using cell wall degrading enzymes, what is left of the cell and its surrounding plasma membrane is called a protoplast.
Cells interact though plasmodesma(ta), which are inter-connecting channels of cytoplasm that connect to the protoplasts of adjacent cells across the cell wall.
Cell to cell communication is possible through pits in the secondary cell wall that allow plasmodesma to connect cells through the secondary cell walls.

 Molecular Expressions Cell Biology: Plant Cell Structure - Cell Wall
Cell walls are significantly thicker than plasma membranes and were visible even to early microscopists, including Robert Hooke, who originally identified the structures in a sample of cork, and then coined the term cells in the 1660s.
The primary cell wall is thinner and more pliant than the secondary cell wall, and is sometimes retained in an unchanged or slightly modified state without the addition of the secondary wall, even after the growth process has ended.
The secondary plant cell wall, which is often deposited inside the primary cell wall as a cell matures, sometimes has a composition nearly identical to that of the earlier-developed wall.

 Anode material for lithium secondary cell with high capacity invention
Disclosed is an anode material comprising a metal core layer capable of repetitive lithium intercalation/deintercalation; an amorphous carbon layer coated on the surface of the metal core layer, and a crystalline carbon layer coated on the amorphous carbon layer.
[0014] It is another object of the present invention to provide an anode material for a lithium secondary cell, the anode material comprising a metal layer (core layer) capable of repetitive lithium intercalation/deintercalation, the surface of which is partially or totally coated with amorphous carbonaceous materials and crystalline carbonaceous materials, successively.
By using the aforesaid anode material, it is possible to inhibit changes in the volume of a metal caused by the progress of lithium intercalation/deintercalation and to maintain a high electron conductivity among anode material particles, thereby providing a high charge/discharge capacity and excellent cycle life characteristics.

 Patent 6,187,305   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The present invention also relates to a method of turning on a gene present in primary cells, secondary cells or immortalized cells of vertebrate origin, which is normally not expressed in the cells or is not expressed at significant levels in the cells.
That is, the first time a plated primary cell is removed from the culture substrate and replated (passaged), it is referred to herein as a secondary cell, as are all cells in subsequent passages.
A cell strain consists of secondary cells that: 1) have been passaged one or more times; 2) exhibit a finite number of mean population doublings in culture; 3) exhibit the properties of contact-inhibited, anchorage dependent growth (anchorage-dependence does not apply to cells that are propagated in suspension culture); and 4) are not immortalized.

The secondary cell wall is the thicker and more rigid cell wall of cellulose laid down after the cell reaches its full size during growth and differentiation.
Secondary growth is growth in girth (circumference) of the stem as a result of the activity of the vascular cambium in the stem.
The secondary cell wall is missing on both sides where the concave part is. When comparing simple pits with bordered pits, the bordered pits have the secondary cell wall extending out making a covering over the pit.

Cells found in phloem have primary cell walls only, while cells found in xylem have both primary and secondary cell walls.
Plasmolysis is said to occur whent the plasma membrane of a plant cell pulls away from the cell wall.

The cellulose microfibrils in the primary cell wall are parallel, which allows the cell wall to expand as the cell grows.
The cells of woody or wood-like (lignified) tissue possess a secondary cell wall.
In the secondary cell wall, the cellulose microfibrils are criss-crossed and are impregnated with lignin, both of which make secondary cell walls very hard and rigid.

The secondary vascular tissues are aligned, forming radial files of cells that are produced from a single cambium initial cell that you can locate between the xylem and phloem.
The secondary xylem cells that are produced in the spring and early summer of the year are large in diameter; water is abundant and minerals released from the snow melt make for optimal growth.
Thus the secondary xylem cells produced in the fall of the year are much smaller in the radial dimension.

 Programmed cell death of plant tracheary elements
Cell suicide is referred to as programmed cell death, because the suicide process is genetically programmed and follows a predictable set of events.
As a tracheary element differentiates, it constructs a rigid secondary cell wall and synthesizes a compliment of hydrolytic enzymes.

One very important anatomical feature of higher plants is the presence of secondary cell walls that give strength and rigidity to plant cells allowing a plant to attain a larger size.
This research investigates the established helical secondary wall pattern of xylem cells in developing plants in the northern hemisphere and compares that pattern to differences that may be found in the same species grown in the southern hemisphere and in clinostat manipulated conditions.
Differences may be found between the northern and southern hemispheres due to the Coriolis Effect exerted by the rotation of the earth and possible disruption of normal gravitational influences on secondary wall development by use of a clinostat.
