During Michaelmas Term, OxTalks will be moving to a new platform (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
For now, continue using the current page and event submission process (freeze period dates to be advised).
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The epidermal pavement cell shape in Arabidopsis is driven by chemical and mechanical cues that direct partitioning mechanisms required for the establishment of the lobe- and indentation-defining polar sites. Brassinosteroid hormones promote pavement cell morphogenesis, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. We used combination of proteomics, forward genetics, and visualization techniques to connect brassinosteroid and ROP2-GTPase signalling pathways via the regulation of RopGAPs and put forward the importance of spatiotemporal control of brassinosteroid signalling for pavement cell interdigitation
