This paper demonstrates the use of plant cells to create adaptive, programmable living materials with photosynthetic and electrochemical functionalities.

The paper shows that counter-gradient growth and cuticle integrity maintain apical hook curvature in plants through mechanical and biochemical coordination.

The Q-Warg pipeline quantitatively compares protoplast culture conditions to optimize cell wall recovery and viability, offering a user-friendly tool for unbiased analysis.

The paper challenges the traditional view of cell-cell adhesion in plants by showing that outer epidermal edges, not the middle lamella, are critical for tissue integrity through mechanical stress analysis and structural characterization.

This study identifies RG-II dimerization as critical for cell adhesion in plants and shows its connection to cell wall integrity sensors and brassinosteroid signaling.

This study shows that cell wall integrity modulates apical hook formation in Arabidopsis by affecting the PIF4/5-HLS1 signalling module and gibberellin levels.
