Abstract
Plant cells differ from their animal counterparts such that they are encased in a complex wall structure, crucial for cell growth through a dynamic equilibrium of rigidity and flexibility. Cell wall extensibility can be greatly influenced by apoplastic pH and reactive oxygen species (ROS) (Duan et al., 2014; Haruta et al., 2014). Several recent works demonstrated that the receptor-like kinase (RLK) FERONIA (FER) is critical to fine-tune cell growth in a spatiotemporal and context-dependent manner by controlling apoplastic pH (Haruta et al., 2014) and ROS (Duan et al., 2010, 2014), likely balancing wall rigidity for cell integrity and flexibility for cell expansion.
