During secondary growth, primary protective barriers break, and a new one forms beneath: the phellem.
But what triggers phellem to differentiate and become a functional barrier? Our results show it’s mechanical cues from tissue rupture 🌱

Check out our new preprint by @octaviarmn.bsky.social and @liobarueger.bsky.social in collaboration with @meikeburow.bsky.social - we investigate the spatial effect of glucosinolates on root microbiomes in Arabidopsis and Camelina! www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... lots of cool stuff!
After a long journey, our new paper is out! 🌱
In this study, Tiina and colleagues show that cambium activation in the Arabidopsis root is triggered by the induction of auxin, cytokinin, and TDIF peptide signalling. 🧵1/x doi.org/10.1093/plce...
If life builds order from heterogeneity while never completely eliminating it, is heterogeneity merely a byproduct or could it be part of the means by which biological order is generated? Check out Lanxi Hu's review www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Incredibly proud of this paper showing how plants couple vesicle delivery and phragmoplast expansion during division. This project started in the lab of the great and late Ian Moore, and it was a joy to finish it with @liamelliottplants.bsky.social et al!

Cytokinesis is a key process in the development of multicellular organisms, through both formative and proliferative divisions. In land plants, successful cytokinesis requires precise targeting of Gol...
So proud to share our latest publication @CellCellPress! Yue Rui reveals that the same enzyme that makes the wall, cellulose synthase complex (CESA), also tethers the plasma membrane to the wall during water-deficit stress, providing resilience. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
