Many thanks to Yue Rui and @josedinneny.bsky.social for generously involving us into this great story. Amazing appreciation of the work of @nikolajabel.bsky.social. Congratulations to all authors.
We know a lot about how roots grow but far less about why they stop, decline and die. In our recent @theplantcell.bsky.social review, Feng Qin connects the biology of root growth and root aging, highlighting opportunities to extend root function, enhance crop productivity, and increase soil carbon.
It won’t take you years to publish your work in JCS: most articles go from submission to acceptance in under 5 months. We also show a strong commitment at first decision, with over 95% of revisions being accepted.

We are pleased to be supporting the XVII Plant Cell Wall Meeting, which is taking place in Porto, Portugal next week.
For more information: cellwall2026.org
Register for the meeting in time, we also offer exciting opportunities to get to know my country Bulgaria 🇧🇬 🌹!
Thank you for the highlight @natplants.nature.com! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Looking forward to reading this, I have had a soft spot for salamanders since these took over our cellar/cave! 🦎🦎🦎
Cool special issue on plant evolution just dropped at @currentbiology.bsky.social our 2 cents:

In plants, cell wall-plasma membrane attachments become evident upon severe water loss. These attachments depend on cellulose synthase complexes and remorins and mediate resilience under water stress.
