We are grateful to Yue Rui and José Dinneny from Stanford University for involving us into this story. In this paper, Yue and her colleagues show that the cellulose synthase complex, remorin proteins and SHOU4/4L, negative regulators of CSC exocytosis, act as central components to mediate plasma membrane connectivity to the cell wall under stress conditions.
Congratulations to all authors.
