Scientists are deciphering the secret language of plants, which involves signals from the plant cell wall that help orchestrate growth, reproduction, and immune function.
A better understanding of this molecular cross-talk could lead to the creation of better crops.
Signals from the plant cell wall help to orchestrate growth, reproduction and immune function.
Plant cell walls, such as in root cells, act as physical containers and contribute to important signalling processes.
