Boron-bridged GIPCs stabilize cell wall anchoring and PIN polar domains.

Boron (B) is an essential plant micronutrient whose deficiency impairs global crop yields.

Boron (B) is an essential plant micronutrient whose deficiency impairs global crop yields. Glycosylinositol phosphorylceramides (GIPCs) are major lipids in the plasma membrane (PM), and PIN-FORMED (PIN) proteins mediate polar auxin transport (PAT) via asymmetric PM localization.…
