The plant cell wall is composed of multiple biopolymers, representing one of the most
complex structural networks in nature. Hundreds of genes are involved in building such a …

Initially identified as a key regulator of female fertility in Arabidopsis, the FERONIA (FER)
receptor kinase is now recognized as crucial for almost all aspects of plant growth and …

Pressurized cells with strong walls make up the hydrostatic skeleton of plants. Assembly and
expansion of such stressed walls depend on a family of secreted RAPID ALKALINIZATION …

Plant architecture fundamentally differs from that of other multicellular organisms in that
individual cells serve as osmotic bricks, defined by the equilibrium between the internal …

Assembly of cell wall polysaccharides into specific patterns is required for plant growth. A
complex of RAPID ALKALINIZATION FACTOR 4 (RALF4) and its cell wall–anchored …

Cell walls are highly dynamic structures that provide mechanical support for plant cells
during growth, development and adaptation to a changing environment. Thus, it is important …

Pollen-pistil interactions establish interspecific/intergeneric pre-zygotic hybridization barriers
in plants. The rejection of undesired pollen at the stigma is crucial to avoid outcrossing but …

Receptor kinases (RKs) are of paramount importance in transmembrane signaling that
governs plant reproduction, growth, development, and adaptation to diverse environmental …

Sensing and signaling of cell wall status and dynamics regulate many processes in plants,
such as cell growth and morphogenesis, but the underpinning mechanisms remain largely …

The perception and relay of cell-wall signals are critical for plants to regulate growth and
stress responses, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We found that the …
