Our editors write:
- Pollen: Integrity peptide for tube walls rdcu.be/ds2ZX
A highlight of this paper in @ScienceMagazine : science.org/doi/abs/10.1126/…
"a pectin–RALF4–LRX8 complex plays an unexpected structural role that is required for proper growth of pollen tubes."
It is commonly stated that cellulose is the major load-bearing component of the cell wall. What are the implications and inferences of such a statement? This minireview consider this and related issues.

Buildings designed after living organisms. Fascinating & imaginative concept...In the age of AI, it could be the basis for a sci-fi thriller.
The Cornell Chronicle wrote this great article about our 3 million dollar NSF grant. We bring are looking for the rules of life in flowers, somatic embryos, mouse brain cancer, developing chick hearts and architecture.

Sondheim wrote about giants and life's lessons in his play "Into the Woods". Here's an evolutionary perspective about another kind of giant: AUXIN, and other kinds of lessons. I look forward to an engaging read.

A review - mechanics of plant morphogenesis, from sliding of cellulose microfibrils to different scales for mechanical stress and the question 'does the cell actually sense wall stress?' - see science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
Pectins are not considered a component of plant secondary cell walls, but this report reveals an indirect connection via a wall associated kinase
Very interesting paper - Ectodomain variants of WAK receptor kinase w/ different affinity to ligands (pectins) confer different rice plant heights🌾. A haplotype w/ low affinity (short plants) selected for rice domestication?!

yes, a great book, even for biologists!
Thank you @philipcball for the reminder of this beautiful and enormously influential book.
My copy is a 1988 print. I had the great fortune to be introduced to it at the beginning of my career.
May this book find young friends.
How to make aerogels with superior mechanical properties from wood:
From wood cell walls to fascinating strong, shape-memory #aerogels by @JGaremark @KTHuniversity @acsnanoanoscale. Happy that we contributed by tracking the reassembly of the wood polymers by #Raman imaging @BOKUvienna

We also thanked Mike Blatt (Glasgow) for 9(?) years of service as Editor in Chief of @PlantPhys. Mike and I are old pals and I have very much enjoyed working with him in this role. He's still involved as a News and Views editor! Thanks Mike 💚❤️👍.
