Abstract: The plant cell wall, composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin and lignin, is a dynamically changing network structure, which not only plays the role of a key line of defence in the process of plant resistance to external pressure and adaptation to environmental changes, but also plays the role of an information hub in the process of signal transmission. When the cell wall is damaged, cells sense cell wall changes and make early immune responses, such as hormonal changes, alterations in wall composition and modifications, and the production of disease-resistant secondary metabolites. Although the importance of the cell wall in plant immunity is widely recognised, the specific molecular mechanisms by which cell wall damage triggers immune responses remain poorly understood. The application of in situ unlabelled imaging techniques in plant cells is gradually increasing and has become an important tool for studying cell wall structure and function. This paper describes the interaction mechanism between plant cell wall and immune response to provide a scientific basis for a deeper understanding of plant life activities and improve crop disease resistance, and describes in situ non-labelled imaging of the cell wall to provide more technological options for advancing the study of the cell wall in immune response.

Key words: plant cell wall, plant immunity, signal sensing and transmission, in situ non-labelled imaging techniques
