Happy to share our newest preprint. We developed guidelines and analysis workflows for FLIM Imaging in plants. Multiplexing with spectrally overlapping fluorophores in plants is now possible. Have a look. Any feedback is more than welcome. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

So proud to share our latest publication @CellCellPress! Yue Rui reveals that the same enzyme that makes the wall, cellulose synthase complex (CESA), also tethers the plasma membrane to the wall during water-deficit stress, providing resilience. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We’re thrilled to share our latest preprint! In this study we provide a mechanistic insight into how the protein EPP1 (first identified in Rose et al., 2012) functions in partnership with SYMRK. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

EPP1 couples receptor activation to cytoplasmic signaling in root nodule symbiosis

Legume symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria is controlled by a cascade of signaling events leading to root nodule development. While plant cell-surface receptors initiate this process, the link bet...

Very proud to share our latest preprint: postdoc/LRSF fellow Yue Rui studies the mechanisms regulating attachment of the cell wall to the plasma membrane. The Cellulose Synthase Complex and REMORINs determine the extent of attachment and root osmotic stress tolerance. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
