Unlike conventional viscoelastic materials, the wall behaved like a strong network of cellulose fibers capable of irreversible fiber sliding while maintaining tensile stiffness.

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.
The birth of a giant…in this #OpenAccess review in @embojournal @PoletCarrillo1 @MinoJHG @SumanthMutte from our team @WUR discuss the evolution of auxin biology and its possible microbial origins

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.
