Also happy to say that Arabidopsis epidermal cells make the cover of @theplantjournal.bsky.social for the issue with our paper, showing that nitrate availability impacts pectin metabolism and cell wall mechanics for growth 🌱

Nitrate modulates pectin metabolism and cell wall mechanics during cell expansion in Arabidopsis
Nitrate increases HG abundance and reduces PME activity via NRT1.1- and NLP7-dependent pathways. Enhanced pectin methylesterification softens the cell wall, facilitating cotyledon cell expansion. Thi...
