A tension-adhesion feedback loop in plant epidermis [PDF]
eLife, 2018 Mechanical forces have emerged as coordinating signals for most cell functions. Yet, because forces are invisible, mapping tensile stress patterns in tissues remains a major challenge in all kingdoms. Here we take advantage of the adhesion defects in the

Cutin:cutin-acid endo-transacylase (CCT), a cuticle-remodelling enzyme activity in the plant epidermis. [PDF]
Biochem J, 2021 Cutin is a polyester matrix mainly composed of hydroxy-fatty acids that occurs in the cuticles of shoots and root-caps. The cuticle, of which cutin is a major component, protects the plant from biotic and abiotic stresses, and cutin has been postulated to constrain organ expansion.

The plant hormone ethylene restricts Arabidopsis growth via the epidermis [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018 The gaseous hormone ethylene plays a key role in plant growth and development, and it is a major regulator of stress responses. It inhibits vegetative growth by restricting cell elongation, mainly through cross-talk with auxins.

Automatic cell identification and counting of leaf epidermis for plant phenotyping
MethodsX, 2020 The counting of leaf epidermal cells is useful to study the plant developmental changes produced by environmental or genetic factors.The scanning electron microscopy can be used, but it is expensive and time-consuming.

The epidermis coordinates multi-scale symmetry breaking in chiral root growth [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsTwisted growth serves myriad adaptive functions in plants. Unlike animal motions, plant motions require symmetry breaking during growth and typically involve microtubule-related genes.

The effects of leaf litter chemistry and anatomical traits on the litter decomposition rate of Quercus frainetto Ten. and Quercus cerris L. in situ [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2020 This paper presents the results of a one-year decomposition experiment on Quercus frainetto Ten. and Quercus cerris L. leaf litter in natural conditions. The decomposition rate constant was 0.831 yr−1 (Q. frainetto) and 0.458 yr−1 (Q. cerris).
