Thrilled to share our work lead by Di Fino in great collaboration with @Panosmoschou,@Hamann_lab, @GreenMechanobio, @RichardSmithLab published @Dev_Cell: Developmental Cell www.cell.com/developmenta...
After a long absence, I am (briefly?) returning to Bluesky to publicise our research into identifying the ancestral and divergent functions of the Marchantia polymorpha ATR kinase in the plant DNA response pathway.

Di Fino et al. analyzed the biomechanical properties of the cell wall in the Arabidopsis
root and found that xylem pole pericyclic cell walls are more flexible than outer
cell walls. This flexibility ...
