The plant cell wall is an extracellular matrix that surrounds each plant cell, providing form and mechanical strength to the plant cell. Significant research has been conducted over the years to better understand the structure of the cell wall given its importance in a range of industrial applications, including cellulosic biofuels, paper and pulp, and forestry sectors.

Abstract B-box proteins (BBXs) are transcription factors that act as signal transducers in light signaling pathways. The microprotein BBX31/miP1b is known to play a positive role in promoting photomorphogenesis and stress tolerance under UV-B. However, the BBX31-mediated metabolic reprogramming to confer UV-B tolerance in plants is not well characterised.
