Kicking off #SLS26 Day 2 is @weibingyang.bsky.social talking about how cell walls guide stem cells in the shoot apical meristem including new research on pectin methylesterification & its influence on cell division patterns and stem cell maintenance. english.cemps.cas.cn/Research/New...

Confocal microscope image of Arababidopsis meristem and graphic show stem cell dynamics and relationships between Cytokinin, cell wall, cell growth, cell division patterning and cell division activity

Text: Mature wall methylesterification is required for stem cell maintenance. Images showing SAM siz different between control plants ant PME5 plants with much smaller meristems.

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

Currently attending the annual meeting of the Chilean Society of Plant Biologists 🌱🇨🇱 Presenting the findings of our recently published article doi.org/10.1111/tpj.... and our next steps with systems biology 🧬 #cellwall #plantbiology #plantscience

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....
