Iโm very excited to share this work! Understanding plant hypersensitive cell death has been a key challenge. Using time-lapse imaging, we captured the full process: from calcium influx to organelle breakdown and cell collapse. @YiFeng_eYFP@IPMBSinica

Cell-surface receptors play key roles across many biological processes.
In plants, these receptor families have undergone remarkable expansion. Here, we systematically review these receptors in @ThePlantJournal.
Happy to see this out!
