We are pleased to be supporting the XVII Plant Cell Wall Meeting, which is taking place in Porto, Portugal next week.

Thank you for the highlight @natplants.nature.com! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
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.
Porto, a UNESCO World Heritage city, is known for its rich history, warm hospitality, wonderful food and wines, and breathtaking views over the Douro River – the perfect setting to foster scientific exchange, collaboration, and inspiration.

Marchantia has two RBOHs. Double mutant = disorganized cell mass. Conditional mutant analyses show they are required to sustain morphogenesis via cuticle-cell-wall integrity. Clever study. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Happy to share our new paper in @dev-journal.bsky.social .
This project started while I was at Stanford with @stanfordstomata.bsky.social and was completed at @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social by @pablidopsis.bsky.social .

Happy to share our newest preprint. We developed guidelines and analysis workflows for FLIM Imaging in plants. Multiplexing with spectrally overlapping fluorophores in plants is now possible. Have a look. Any feedback is more than welcome.

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.
Abstract. Roots play a central role in plant growth, survival, and fitness and are increasingly recognized as key determinants of crop yield and sustainabi
