The Cell Wall as a Biophysical Gatekeeper of Iron Homeostasis in Plant Roots
Yesterday, Chenlu Liu (from the @elkebarbez.bsky.social group) revealed how dynamic cell wall charge regulates iron uptake in plant roots, acting as a reversible ion filter that shapes nutrient balance.

A question of death β οΈ and life π§¬
Yesterday we hosted @moritznowack.bsky.social (from Ghent University and @viblifesciences.bsky.social), their research on root caps uncovers the gene regulatory and molecular mechanisms coordinating differentiation with developmentally programmed cell death.
It was meant to be a joke :D sorry for the confusion.

Proteins can form condensates to boost interactions and gene control. This week @gjjang.bsky.social (from @mpi-ie.bsky.social) shows how plants use them in transcription and epigenetics, and how super-resolution microscopy reveals them in vivo.

New preprint out!
We reveal that ERAD, a protein degradation pathway, selectively targets intracellular PILS auxin transport facilitators to control growth.
This expands ERAD's role beyond protein quality control, right into developmental regulation.
