I am heading to #ASCBEMBO19 to present a µTalk (11:40am Rm 145A) and a poster (P1107/B233) on Monday. Come over if you are interested in seeing how a cell without actin at all (not just F-actin) still forms a furrow.

Chloroplast Damage Triggers Autophagy plantae.org/?p=36018

Chloroplast Damage Triggers Autophagy | Plantae

Under normal growth conditions, there is a constitutive or basal level of autophagy in plant cells that helps to recycle unnecessary cell contents. Autophagy provides essential building blocks (e.g.
