Abstract: The depletion of fossil resources globally spurred on the research for the high-value utilization of the three main components of biomass.Ongoing research is worldwide focusing on the location of hemicelluloses in plant cell wall due to its tight bounding with the cellulose and the chemical bonds formation with lignin in plant cell wall.The present review mainly summarized three techniques for displaying the micro-distribution of hemicelluloses in plant cell wall, namely traditional histochemistry, spectral microscopy and immunocytochemistry in recent 50 years according to the developing path of technologies.The particular analysis methods of every technique were analyzed, the deficiency of traditional technology was pointed out and the research direction of hemicelluloses was forecasted.

Key words: hemicelluloses, plant cell wall, distribution
