Scientists long thought the plant cell wall to be dead, but it's an active, even chatty participant in cellular growth, reproduction and responses to infection

Plants have a secret language that scientists are only now starting to decipher
Signals from the plant cell wall help to orchestrate growth, reproduction and immune function. Can harnessing this molecular cross talk help in creating better crops?

The dissertation! 150 pages of prairie, history, & more pawpaws than you'd expect.
I've sold over 850 copies of this baby, and the world being what it is, it's far too expensive to print another edition right now.

Proud to present the first data paper from the lab, published today in @pnas.org.
We describe a new mechanism for CLE peptides as local symbiosis-amplifying signals, promoting plant interactions with beneficial arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.
