These walls CAN talk! Turns out the plant cell wall isn't just a boring cubicle for hard working chloroplasts and stuff. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Plants have a secret language that scientists are only now starting to decipher
Signals from the plant cell wall help to orchestrate growth, reproduction and immune function. Can harnessing this molecular cross talk help in creating better crops?
