  8. #introduction. I am a plant developmental geneticist. The lab addresses a fundamental biological question: how does morphogenesis translate genotype into form? To this end we study signaling at the plasma membrane - cell wall interface and we investigate how mechanical forces influence tissue shape using 3D digital ovules.

  9. What is one phrase in your field of study that appears in nearly every paper introduction? For cellulose biosynthesis, I would have to say it's this:

    "Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer on Earth."

  10. #RNA-protein complexes have amazingly complex architectures. New proteomic and RNA co-purification results from my colleagues indicate the propensity of the eIF2A factor to bind both to mRNA for genes involved in yeast cell wall metabolism and also to proteins involved in RNA degradation.

  11. Using a drug without understanding it's mechanism is risky business. Although obvious, some are so useful that questions are swept away in the waves of enthusiastic adoption.

    Straight from the keyboard next door, where Mike took the time to ask those questions nonetheless, comes this report that the #CellWall field's favourite cellulose inhibitor, isoxaben, behaves in ways very difficult to reconcile with the assumption that it specifically inhibits CESAs: doi.org/10.1093/plphys/kiad538

  12. #Algae living inside #corals provide sugars for their host by digesting their own cell walls elifesciences.org/articles/909 @eLife #protists #microbes #symbiosis

    Environmental pH signals the release of monosaccharides from #CellWall in #coral #symbiotic alga elifesciences.org/articles/806

    "combination of both digestion- and transporter-driven secretion are likely involved in sugar output... The symbiotic system may therefore be tunable according to the dynamic conditions of the coral reef."

  13. Why does *in vitro* lignin depolymerization by fungal laccases rarely work out? A presentation by Elena Gugole at #ICP2023 in Nantes offered a very satisfying answer:

    When fungi degrade lignin, they do so in concert with cellulose degradation, where the phenolic radicals from lignin breakdown are used as electron acceptors by glucose dehydrogenases. *In vitro, *outside the context of cellulose degradation, those radicals re-polymerise instead. #plantscience #cellwall

    The Pesquet lab provides terrific new insight into the spatial control of cell wall lignification by laccases

  15. Especially interested the thick #CellWall (blue) and those clustered cells (green) engulfed in another membrane (purple). Any #Lichen experts around?

    Cool new paper on how protists dissolve cell walls of algae they feed on using glycosyl hydrolase family 5 subfamily 5 proteins (GHL5_5). Figure 1 shown below:
