Door #24 of the cell wall advent calendar! Chapter 24 by Nick Carpita, Maureen McCann: The compound middle lamella as a target for improved deconstruction of woody biomass NREL

And because it is Christmas eve, here bonus door #25 to conclude the cell wall advent calendar extravaganza! Chapter 25 by Rosalie Sinclair, Mingqin Chang, Georgia Drakakaki: Cytokinesis and the formation of a new cell wall @UCDavis UCDavisPlants UC Davis Research UC Davis Library

It was a great experience to put this exciting focus issue together in collaboration with co-cell-wall-afficionado and Plant Physiology editor Tony Bacic. Thank you to all the authors for their fantastic contributions!

Together with Gabriella Mosca - Biomech. mod. of Morphogenesis @ericnumerics @HerveTurlier we organise a 1st workshop on Finite Elements for Cell & Tissue Morphogenesis, featuring distinguished speakers. We now accept applications from master & PhD students & postdocs, please spread ! morphofem.sciencesconf.org

So, there *are* places where hearing more than one language being spoken in the streets is perceived as something to be proud of … coudonc!

Confused about terms like pollen vigour and viability? So were we. So we sorted it out and provide an overview of relevant testing assays in the context of heat and other stress affecting pollen performance. doi.org/10.1093/aob/mc… #thermotolerance #plantreproduction IASPRR @iasprr.bsky.social

We are looking for 2 postdocs and a technician to join our team studying evolution and development of complex flowers. More detail here: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/?unit=u002…

The conference incorporates the BSCB and British Society for Developmental Biology Spring Meetings. View the cell and developmental biology programme and speakers at bit.ly/3B2uflr #biologists100
