Grateful for the opportunity to present our work on the interplay between nitrate and cellulose for growth at the International Plant Cell Wall Meeting 2026 in Porto 🌱🔬 A research project leaded by my colleague @eriveras.bsky.social and amazing collaborators! #cellwall #nitrate #cellulose

Very excited to share our paper "Nitrate modulates pectin metabolism and cell wall mechanics during cell expansion in Arabidopsis" 🌱 doi.org/10.1111/tpj.... Plant Systems Biology Lab (PUC) collaboration with UNAB and @slcuplants.bsky.social 🔬 Now published in @theplantjournal.bsky.social!

Nitrate modulates pectin metabolism and cell wall mechanics during cell expansion in Arabidopsis

Nitrate increases HG abundance and reduces PME activity via NRT1.1- and NLP7-dependent pathways. Enhanced pectin methylesterification softens the cell wall, facilitating cotyledon cell expansion. Thi...

Also happy to say that Arabidopsis epidermal cells make the cover of @theplantjournal.bsky.social for the issue with our paper, showing that nitrate availability impacts pectin metabolism and cell wall mechanics for growth 🌱 Check the work here 👉 doi.org/10.1111/tpj....
