With reading plenty of papers, the plant researcher as a interpreter of 'plant language', i have a strong feeling that unlike the animal, plants sense the external environment through the cell wall rather than the cell membrane. what do you think of?

Cell Wall as a Sensory Structure:Cosgrove, D. J. (2005). Growth of the plant cell wall. Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 6(11), 850-861. This review highlights the role of the cell wall in plant growth and how it senses mechanical changes. Hamann, T. (2012). Plant cell wall integrity maintenance as an essential component of biotic stress response mechanisms. Frontiers in Plant Science, 3, 77. This paper discusses how the cell wall is involved in sensing and responding to biotic stress. Cell Membrane in Signal Transduction:Trewavas, A. (2005). Green plants as intelligent organisms. Trends in Plant Science, 10(9), 413-419. This article describes the role of the cell membrane in signal transduction and how plants perceive their environment. Jeworutzki, E., Roelfsema, M. R., Anschütz, U., Krol, E., Elzenga, J. T., Felix, G., ... & Hedrich, R. (2010). Early signaling through the Arabidopsis pattern recognition receptor FLS2. Plant Cell, 22(4), 1020-1034. This study provides insights into how cell membrane receptors are involved in early signaling processes.
Plants use both the cell wall and the cell membrane in a coordinated manner to sense and respond to their environment. The cell wall acts as the first line of defense and a site for mechanical and chemical sensing, while the cell membrane plays a critical role in signal perception and transduction, facilitating the plant's ability to adapt and respond to changing conditions.
