Scientists long thought the plant cell wall to be dead, but it's an active, even chatty participant in cellular growth, reproduction and responses to infection

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?

Really pleased to transition from 2024 to 2025 with Tatiana Vernie's work on the evolution of the common symbiosis pathway published @pnas.org 🔽
We finally demonstrate that ☘️ have maintained a genetic pathway to engage with🍄for half a billion years!

Happy frog Friday!
I had a great time at ASCB! Now I’m excited to get back to the bench for some very cool experiments.

I’m excited to share my work on fluorogen-activated coincidence sensing and membrane asymmetry. See you all there!
Heading to #CellBio2024? Do you love #lipids? Join us for an exciting subgroup on Lipids in Organelle Form and Function, Saturday at 1:45 PM! Lipid-themed happy hour to follow but you must attend the session to find out the location!
