  • Throughout the lifespan of a plant, the stem cell niches in the shoot and root apical meristems provide the cells for the formation of new tissues and organs. Here, evidence is presented that the signalling centres of both niches utilize related transcription factors, WUSCHEL and WOX5, respectively, to maintain neighbouring stem cells undifferentiated.

  • Phloem is responsible for long-distance transport of molecules in plants and conducting phloem cells are joined by sieve areas that facilitate cell-to-cell transport. Here the authors identify mutations in the gene encoding CHOLINE TRANSPORTER-LIKE1 that cause abnormalities in sieve areas and impaired phloem conduction.

  • Despite their importance in plant development and defence the properties of (1,3)-β-glucan remain largely unknown. Here, the authors find that addition of (1,3)-β-glucans increases the flexibility of cellulose and its resilience to high strain, an effect originating in molecular level interactions.
