Two new posts on preLights today! 👀

The first has been written by our new #preLighter Yueh Cho (postdoc at #IPMBSinica & #AcadSinica) who covers a #preprint from Tina Schreier and colleagues which shows that light and photosynthesis trigger plasmodesmal formation in C4 dicotyledons 🌱

Heatmap of plasmodesmata distribution. Cell interfaces in high-resolution 2D SEM maps of C4 G. gynandra, C3 T. hassleriana and C3 A. thaliana leaf cross sections were coloured according to plasmodesmal frequency (number of plasmodesmata observed on the interface, divided by the interface length [μm]).
