Delighted to be giving a keynote talk at #Botanik-Tagung2026, organized by the German Society for Plant Sciences and hosted by @HPSplusBochum, and on the dual role of RALF22 in root hair cell wall assembly (nature.com/articles/s41477-0…), funded by @FWOVlaanderen projects.

Rapid alkalinization factor 22 has a structural and signalling role in root hair cell wall assembly

Nature Plants - The authors show that RALF22 has a dual role in cell wall assembly in root hairs: as a structural component organizing cell wall architecture and as a feedback signalling molecule...

Together with the team of Prof. Malcolm Bennett at Univ Nottingham we elucidate how transcription factors ARF19 helps to regulate root gravitropic growth. More than 10 years after this work was initiated by a shared PhD student, the story finally landed! linkedin.com/posts/kris-viss…

ARF19 acts as a transient auxin response enhancer during root gravitropism | Kris Vissenberg

Together with the team of Prof. Malcolm Bennett at the Univ. Nottingham , we elucidate how auxin-response transcription factors help to regulate root gravitropic growth and responses. Very proud that...

Very proud to be given the opportunity to share our insights on RLK-RALF signaling governing cell wall integrity in plants. #TansleyInsight Overlooked aspects of CrRLK1L-RALF signaling Schoenaers and Vissenberg @VissenbergL 📖 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/… pic.x.com/WG4FUSeck5

Overlooked aspects of CrRLK1L–RALF signaling

Plant development relies on the ability of cells to coordinate growth with the cell wall's biomechanical status. Rapid alkalinization factors (RALFs) and their Catharanthus roseus RLK1-like (CrRLK1...
