Physiological roles of lignins – tuning cell wall hygroscopy and biomechanics

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Lignins constitute the second most abundant carbon‐storing biopolymers in the biosphere. These phenolic polymers accumulate in different concentrations, compositions, and localisations within and between cell wall layers and cell types. Lignins were acquired during plant terrestrialisation 450 million years ago, and the diversification of their

Microbe‐induced resistance involves priming of direct or indirect defenses according to the stage of herbivory

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Microbe‐induced resistance (MIR) encompasses a broad range of plant responses that mediate both direct and indirect defenses against herbivores. However, previous studies have addressed MIR in relation to either direct or indirect defenses in isolation, overlooking potential conflicts or synergies that may arise between MIR‐elicited defense ...

RNA tomography reveals spatial gene expression maps of Arabidopsis thaliana roots infected with Heterodera schachtii

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Plant‐parasitic cyst nematodes, such as Heterodera schachtii, cause substantial crop losses world‐wide and induce specialized feeding structures in host roots, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying feeding structure initiation and development remain poorly understood.

Memory in the wall: expanding our understanding of the roles of plant cell walls

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The plant cell wall, while providing mechanical support to cells, also dynamically adjusts its composition and structure in response to cellular and environmental cues. Recent findings indicate that plants exposed to cold stress alter the composition of cell wall polysaccharides and that this altered status primes the plants to overcome future,
