The root cortex of the Poaceae: a diverse, dynamic, and dispensable tissue - Plant and Soil
Background The root cortex in Poaceae is a diverse, dynamic, and dispensable composite layer of tissue. Early in plant growth, the cortex in Poaceae roots primarily consists of parenchyma cells. Howev...

These webinars are meant to get you thinking and discussing too! We clearly have no fully baked answers to what is a cell type.
So we invite your ideas, and you can post them here: padlet.com/nolan84/what...

Vicia lunata is a rare wildflower that grows on just a few mountain slopes in Cyprus and Turkey. Its flowers are so bright they look as though someone coloured them in with a highlighter pen.

Over the moon with our BarrierFates consortium funded. Roots, barriers, maize, stresses -it's going to be awesome!!!
Super excited to share the news that our BarrierFates consortium got 3M€ funding from NWO XL to study maize root barrier cell types! 🌽🔬
Delighted to embark on this journey with

I am so excited to share Dr. C Manzano’s work: she demonstrates the developmental timeline, function and genetic regulation of the polar lignin cap in the tomato root. It functions as a distinct intercellular barrier from the Casparian strip and is repressed in inner layers. rdcu.be/d10Pd
