🎉 Proud moment for our lab! PhD student Klaudia Ordyniak won the Best Poster Award at the #SPPSPhD2025 conference for her work on transcription factors ZAT11 & ZAT18 in cell wall integrity 🌿👏 Also cheers to another UPSC colleague, Julie Ducla, for winning Best Presentation! bit.ly/46xCUZZ

🌱 Meet Manju, our new PhD student in the Cell Wall Dynamics team! From the Newah Indigenous community in Nepal🇳🇵 to Umeå, she’ll work on the VR-funded Watchers on the Wall project, using advanced tools to study how plant cell walls sense and respond to stress. 🔗 Read her interview: bit.ly/3JAsZK7

Starting now!

Attending the 2025 International Conference on Plant Cell Wall Biology at UBC? Don’t miss the next session—I’ll be presenting my team member Nancy Soni’s work on the link between the cell wall and the cell cycle. Hope to see you there!

🧪🌾Are you at Plant Biology Europe #PBE2025 in Budapest and interested in cell walls? Don't miss the talks of Nanci Soni (Cell Biology) and Demtrio Marcianò (Phytohormones & Other Transmitters) tomorrow!

Nasrin Sabooni presented her poster at #ICAR2025 in Ghent🇧🇪 on transcription factors shaping cell wall integrity in Arabidopsis & cotton🌿🧵 From evolution to stress & fibre development—she’s got it covered! 🔗 www.cellwalldynamics.com/nasrin-saboo... #PlantScience #StressResilience #Cotton #Arabidopsis

Our PI Laura Bacete has been elected to the Young Academy of Sweden! 🎉 She’ll contribute to research policy, outreach, and interdisciplinary collaboration—bringing plant cell & molecular biology into broader discussions 🌱🧪 More here: www.cellwalldynamics.com/laura-bacete...

And continuing with conference news—postdoc Bastien Dauphin just gave a great talk at the UK Plant Biomechanics Conference 2025 🎤🌿 He’s using chemo-optogenetics to trigger local changes in the plant cell wall. New tools, new insights! #PlantBiomechanics #CellWallDynamics #Optogenetics

🎉 Big news! Our very own Nancy Soni and Demetrio Marcianò will be speaking at Plant Biology Europe 2025! #PBE2025 🧬🌱 🧪 Two talks, one big theme: how cell walls talk to the rest of the cell. Read more on our web page! 👇 www.cellwalldynamics.com/nancy-soni-a...

🌱🔬 Ever wondered how plants know when their cell walls need fixing? At the Green Cell Wall Dynamics Lab (Umeå University), we study how plants and algae sense and maintain their cell walls—key to growth, stress responses, and survival! 🧵👇

[NEWS FROM THE LAB] – A Week of Science and Fun: Lab Get-Together in Umeå: www.cellwalldynamics.com/a-week-of-sc...

Hello world!🌱 Our lab at Umeå Plant Science Centre (Sweden) and NTNU (Norway) explores how plants and algae actively perceive and adapt through their cell walls. Growth, defence, and resilience all start here! Follow us for updates on our research #PlantScience #CellWalls #PlantCellWall #AcademicSky
