Very proud to share our latest preprint: postdoc/LRSF fellow Yue Rui studies the mechanisms regulating attachment of the cell wall to the plasma membrane. The Cellulose Synthase Complex and REMORINs determine the extent of attachment and root osmotic stress tolerance. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A new preprint!
Inspired by Kleiber's law, we show how growth rate scales with biomass in wheat, and how this scaling connects resource use to reproduction and grain yield in diverse environments.

Scaling law links plant growth variation to grain yield in wheat stands
Growth rate, a key trait influencing plant resource use, scales predictably with plant mass, following remarkably consistent allometric power laws shaped by biophysical constraints and natural selecti...

We discuss temporal regulation of (plant) development. When and how do plants control organ and cell identity progression?

5y in the works & extremely proud of this one. Xin Cheng & @heikelindner.bsky.social established the eudicot leaf succulent Kalanchoë laxiflora as a dev model.
