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…
Excited to share our latest review on hydrosignaling: moisture-dependent molecular pathways that help plants grow towards water. Insightful review of the literature and discussion of moisture sensing mechanisms by Will Dwyer and @hhtormar.bsky.social. Enjoy!

In this review, Lakehal et al. chart the evolution of root systems, discussing key
innovations in root morphology and the regulatory mechanisms that enabled land plants
to adapt. They argue that crop ...

Happy to see this out! We describe a patterning mechanism underlying rhizoid specification in Marchantia. Contrary to classic patterning mechanisms (e.g., Turing), rhizoid specification depends on both randomness and lateral inhibition, involves subcritical bifurcations, and occurs at criticality!
Terrestrial vascular plants operate under negative water potential, which results in hydraulic tension in the vascular system. Vascular tension varies with transpiration and soil drying and is regulat...
A nice article on moss dieback featuring George Greiff’s work ☺️https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g48jy4j1yo
Check out our latest issue to read an interview with Junko Kyozuka, who studies plant growth with a focus on branching at Tohoku University. Find out more about her key early influences and advice Junko would offer to young scientists! Read the Q&A here: www.cell.com/current-biol...
I had a great time writing this dispatch @currentbiology.bsky.social about Jacob Suissa's recent paper on the link between fern phyllotaxis and vascular architecture. "Evo–devo: Ferns flourished due to developmental covariance between leaves and vasculature"

Rhizoid specification in Marchantia polymorpha gemmae involves lateral inhibition mediated by the microRNA FRH1, which represses the rhizoid-specific …
Our latest issue just dropped! It's green & special!
And super meaty, even though it is about #plants #evolution!
