How to achieve plant robustness on the cellular level? The regular divisions of cambium stem cells:
Did you ever wonder how a dividing cambium cell looks like and what determines its striking regular division? Xiomin Liu, PhD student in the lab, found out in a heroic histological approach. Fruitful collaboration with the group of Sabine Müller (@phragmoplast.bsky.social) doi.org/10.64898/202...

Our #OA meta-analysis on ecological predictors of plant responses to sequential herbivory is out in @newphyt.bsky.social. It was an enjoyable collaboration with Zoë Delamore & Erik Poelman from @w-u-r.bsky.social and Zoë did a great job leading the project nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

A new study from the @maizel-lab.org, @dolfweijers.bsky.social, and @roelandmerks.bsky.social labs starting to unravel a role of SOSEKI proteins in cellular mechanosensing.
New preprint!
SOSEKI polarity proteins are mechanoresponsive integrators linking growth and tissue mechanics during lateral root formation. Their polarity marks growth boundaries and reorganises in response to mechanical alterations —reshaping how we think about axis formation.
