Plant cells undergo incomplete division and remain connected. This image illustrates two daughter cells linked by strands of endoplasmic reticulum spanning plasmodesmata—tiny bridges for intercellular communication.

New findings in Science reveal that the endoplasmic reticulum holds these bridges open during cell division; without it, plasmodesmata close, addressing a long-standing question about how to combine cell division and communication. https://t.co/N38POIt9tk

Il y a deux ans, j'ai eu l'honneur d'interpréter une des « Cinq mélodies sur des textes de Paul Valéry » de Frederic Mompou. Quelle vive émotion ! Un moment magique ! 🙏🏻

« Le vin perdu » 🍷

À la mémoire du grand poète Paul Valéry ! 🙏🏻

#Taldiacomahir fa 153 anys naixia l’escriptor i poeta francès Paul Valéry. El compositor Mompou el va conèixer a París l’any 1923. Mompou li va dedicar el cicle de cançons “Cinq mélodies sur des textes de Paul Valéry” (1972). Mompou davant la tomba de Valéry #Taldiacomoayer (1/2)

“Our findings address a long-standing question about how plants balance division with connection, a critical requirement of multicellular life,” says first author Li.

They show that it all depends on the #endoplasmicreticulum (ER), an organelle known for its complex network of channels. When a plant cell divides, strands of ER pass through and hold the plasmodesmata open; without them, the plasmodesmata close.

How do plant cells divide while staying connected through hundreds of tiny bridges called #plasmodesmata?

ISTA #postdoc Ziqiang Patrick Li and an international team of researchers mechanistically address this fundamental question.

Snails 🐚 are slow, but they can evolve fast! Our new paper shows how one ecotype evolved into another on a tiny island 🏝️ within 30 years - and that we could predict changes at the phenotypic, but also at the genetic 🧬 level. 1/3

When temporal changes in the environment mirror spatial gradients, it opens up the potential for predicting the course of adaptive evolution over time based on patterns of spatial genetic and phenotypic variation. @AnjaWestram @ISTAustria https://t.co/ihPrLEmZ7s
