Apply to do a PhD supervised by me and Prof Jurriaan Ton at Sheffield. Addressing an interesting question sitting at the interface of plant cell wall biology and plant pathology #cellwalls #plantdefence
Primed for Protection: Cell Wall Modifications in Plant Defence/Immunity https://buff.ly/49b9zEm
Cell wall fragments can activate plant immunity. You will study how changes in wall chemistry enable plants to mount a stronger immune response. led by s.amsbury@sheffield.ac.uk @samamsbury.bsky.social

So I’m back from maternity leave and have been quiet on social media for a while. To catch up, here is a year in review of all the #PlantScience papers that came out in Science while I was gone. Buckle up! (1/34)

A Model Approach to Understanding the Properties of Guard Cell Walls: The Key to Stomatal Function
A bottom-up model of wall mechanics in stomatal guard cells reveals how wall composition and structure modulate the biomechanical properties that enable stomatal movements.

Funding alert!
A new Royal Society independent postdoc fellowship scheme launches next week.
Lots of funding and very prestigious.
Only for applicants of black heritage.
Good to see the RS putting substantial money behind a plan to diversify research.
