OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, 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
