Fast mechanosensitive and Ca2+-dependent reorientation of motile cilia basal bodies in the placozoan Trichoplax
Leria et al. show that mechanical cues trigger Ca²⁺-dependent, coordinated, and fast reorientation of the ciliary basal bodies in Trichoplax. This enables swift changes in ciliary beat direction and t...

New preprint from our lab. Xin Wang developed a handy genetic tool called
#RootTracker
to follow fate of lateral root primordia (LRP). He showed that arrested LRPs gradually obtain cambium identity and contribute to the secondary growth.
