Concluding Remarks
While little is known about the functions of cell wall ester modifications in trees, evidence from model plant systems like Arabidopsis thaliana suggests that they may be highly dynamic, playing central roles in cell growth, tissue development, and function, participating in sensing and signaling pathways involved in cell wall remodeling in response to stress, and integrate into primary C1–3 metabolism. Although the reservoirs and fluxes of carbon through acetylated and methylated cell wall
