🌿 A slice of the PlantWallK delegation at #CellWall2026 in Porto! If you want to know more about COST Action and how to get involved, come find us, we are happy to chat! 😊 #PlantWallK #COST

🌿 Great talk today at #CellWall2026 by Daniele Coculo, exploring how cell wall remodelling shapes resistance to Xylella fastidiosa in olive. Proud to have supported his participation through a PlantWallK YRI Conference Grant! #PlantWallK #COST

Sharing a relevant opportunity to our network 🌱 The 2026 Plant Computational Biology Workshop (10th ed.), 7–11 Sept at ENS Lyon, covers biophysics, maths, AI applied to plant development, incl. cell walls. Free, registration required. pcbw.inria.fr/registration/ #PlantBiology #PlantWallK

Check out the activities of the members of our #COSTAction #PlantWallK during the Fascination of Plants Day!

Excellent opportunity! With the additional perk of being very close to the PlantWallK leadership :)

A great way to close the #PlantWallK26 days in Prague! The EPCC satellite meeting wrapped up yesterday with a full day of scientific presentations and stimulating discussions on plant cytoskeleton. Many thanks to all contributors and participants, it was a pleasure to see the community in action.

The 1st #PlantWallK meeting brought together 80+ researchers. Cell biologists, physicists, biochemists, modellers, all converging on 1 structure: the plant cell wall. Two days of talks, posters, and cross-disciplinary debate later, the collaborations are set. The work begins! #PlantBiology #CellWall

☀️ Good morning from Prague! Day 2 of #PlantWallK26 is underway! Hendrik Küpper (Czech Academy of Sciences) opens with a powerful toolkit: synchrotron X-ray techniques that can map where metals are in plant cells and even reveal what chemical form they are in.

🧵 It’s happening! The #PlantWallK kick-off meeting is officially underway in sunny Prague 🇨🇿 Over the next 2 days, researchers from across Europe (and beyond!) will come together to push the frontiers of plant cell wall science. Stay tuned for live updates! #PlantWallK26 #COSTAction

Two more weeks until the deadline for abstracts for our first PlantWallK meeting! 📝 Register: plantwallk.org/prague-regis...

Microtubules in a growing root tip. A dynamic internal scaffold that reorganises as cells divide and expand. Their orientation helps shape growth patterns across the tissue. #PlantWallK #COSTAction #PlantScience

🌱 Exciting news for plant #CellWall researchers! The First PlantWallK Meeting is happening in Prague, May 25–26, 2026 — bringing together members of COST Action CA24116 for the first time. 📝 Abstract submission is open! Deadline: April 15 Register: plantwallk.org/prague-regis... #PlantScience

Picture of the day: Pea root apex with orderly cell layers and active growth zones. Roots are key systems to study how cell walls support division and expansion. #PlantWallK #COSTAction #PlantCellWall #PlantScience

Picture of the day: Cross section of a Brachypodium stem. Thick supporting tissues contrast with thinner growing regions, showing how cell wall structure is tuned to function. #PlantWallK #COSTAction #PlantCellWall #PlantScience

Picture of the day: An Arabidopsis root tip with cell walls highlighted using a pectin probe. Different tissues show distinct signals, reflecting how cell wall composition changes as cells divide, grow, and specialise. #PlantWallK #COSTAction #PlantCellWall #PlantScience

PlantWallK is now underway 🌱 A network for plant cell wall research, linking imaging, modelling, and data methods. We are building the website, planning our first meeting, and preparing calls for grants, so follow for exciting news!: www.cost.eu/actions/CA24... #PlantScience #CellWall #COSTActions
