Journal Article
Gavrin, A., Rey, T., Torode, T. A., Toulotte, J., Chatterjee, A., Louis Kaplan, J., …Schornack, S. (2020). Developmental Modulation of Root Cell Wall Architecture Confers Resistance to an Oomycete Pathogen. Current Biology, 4165 - 4176.e5. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2020.08.011

The cell wall is the primary interface between plant cells and their immediate environment and must balance multiple functionalities, including the regulation of growth, the entry of beneficial microbes, and protection against pathogens. Here, we dem... Read More about Developmental Modulation of Root Cell Wall Architecture Confers Resistance to an Oomycete Pathogen.

Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 6 controls filamentous pathogen interactions and cell wall properties of the tomato and Nicotiana benthamiana leaf epidermis. (2019)
Journal Article
Fawke, S., Torode, T., Gogleva, A., Fich, E., Sørensen, I., Yunusov, T., …Schornack, S. (2019). Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 6 controls filamentous pathogen interactions and cell wall properties of the tomato and Nicotiana benthamiana leaf epidermis. New Phytologist, 1547 - 1559. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.15846

The leaf outer epidermal cell wall acts as a barrier against pathogen attack and desiccation, and as such is covered by a cuticle, composed of waxes and the polymer cutin. Cutin monomers are formed by the transfer of fatty acids to glycerol by glycer...

Dynamics of cell wall assembly during early embryogenesis in the brown alga Fucus. (2016)
Journal Article
Torode, T., Siméon, A., Marcus, S., Jam, M., Le Moigne, M., Duffieux, D., …Hervé, C. (2016). Dynamics of cell wall assembly during early embryogenesis in the brown alga Fucus. Journal of Experimental Botany, 6089 - 6100. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erw369

Zygotes from Fucus species have been used extensively to study cell polarization and rhizoid outgrowth, and in this model system cell wall deposition aligns with the establishment of polarity. Monoclonal antibodies are essential tools for the in situ... Read More about Dynamics of cell wall assembly during early embryogenesis in the brown alga Fucus..

Monoclonal antibodies indicate low-abundance links between heteroxylan and other glycans of plant cell walls. (2015)
Journal Article
Cornuault, V., Buffetto, F., Marcus, S., Xue, J., Crépeau, M., Rydahl, M., …Ralet, M. (2015). Monoclonal antibodies indicate low-abundance links between heteroxylan and other glycans of plant cell walls. Planta, 1321 - 1334. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00425-015-2375-4

MAIN CONCLUSION: The derivation of two sensitive monoclonal antibodies directed to heteroxylan cell wall polysaccharide preparations has allowed the identification of potential inter-linkages between xylan and pectin in potato tuber cell walls and al...
