Current Biology, 2017 Plants are able to generate large leaf surfaces that act as two-dimensional solar panels with a minimum investment in building material, thanks to a hydrostatic skeleton. This requires high intracellular pressures (up to 1 MPa), which depend on the presence of strong cell walls.

Current Biology, 2016 Among the trending topics in the life sciences, stem cells have received a fair share of attention in the public debate - mostly in connection with their potential for biomedical application and therapies. While the promise of organ regeneration and the end of cancer have captured our imagination, it has gone almost unnoticed that plant stem cells ...

PECTOPLATE: the simultaneous phenotyping of pectin methylesterases, pectinases and oligogalacturonides in plants during biotic stresses [PDF]
, 2015 Degradation of pectin, a major component of plant cell wall, is important for fungal necrotrophs to achieve a successful infection. The activities of pectin methylesterases (PMEs) from both plants and pathogens and the degree and pattern of pectin ...

Subcellular positioning during cell division and cell plate formation in maize
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 IntroductionDuring proliferative plant cell division, the new cell wall, called the cell plate, is first built in the middle of the cell and then expands outward to complete cytokinesis.

Plant cell packs: a scalable platform for recombinant protein production and metabolic engineering [PDF]
, 2019 Industrial plant biotechnology applications include the production of sustainable fuels, complex metabolites and recombinant proteins, but process development can be impaired by a lack of reliable and scalable screening methods. Here, we describe a rapid

Cell proliferation, cell shape, and microtubule and cellulose microfibril organization of tobacco BY-2 cells are not altered by exposure to near weightlessness in space [PDF]
, 2009 The microtubule cytoskeleton and the cell wall both play key roles in plant cell growth and division, determining the plant’s final stature. At near weightlessness, tubulin polymerizes into microtubules in vitro, but these microtubules do not self ...

Local auxin biosynthesis acts downstream of brassinosteroids to trigger root foraging for nitrogen
Nature Communications, 2021 Flowering plants elongate their lateral roots under mild nitrogen deficiency to enhance nutrient acquisition. Here the authors show that natural variation of this response depends on local auxin biosynthesis that acts downstream of brassinosteroids to ...
