Abstract
Changes in broadline proton nuclear magnetic resonance parameters of c ell walls during growth of etiolated hypocotyls of bean (Phaseolus vul garis L.) indicate that cell wall structure becomes more rigid during development. Most of the changes are completed in the first 6 cm below cotyledon insertion and are correlated with increased restriction of proton movements in regions of dense polymer packing.
