White ash (Fraxinus americana linn.) originates from the southeastern United States. It is a
tall and fast-growing tree species with strong salt-alkali resistance and cold tolerance …

To better understand the molecular processes associated with the development of the
unusually long (> 30 mm) and strong bast fibre cells within the phloem of flax stems, we …

Differentiation of stem cells in the plant apex gives rise to aerial tissues and organs.
Presently, we lack a lineage map of the shoot apex cells in woody perennials–a crucial gap …

Abstract Background The genus Aquilegia, consisting of approximately 70 taxa, is a member
of the basal eudicot lineage, Ranuculales, which is evolutionarily intermediate between …

Background The decision for a bud to grow into a branch is a key regulatory process
affecting plant architecture. In order to study molecular processes regulating axillary bud …

Seed plants comprise angiosperms and gymnosperms. The latter includes gnetophytes,
cycads, Ginkgo, and conifers. Conifers are distributed worldwide, with 630 species …

Plant cell walls of Poaceae and eudicots differ substantially, both in the content and
composition of their components. However, the genomic and genetic basis underlying these …

Summary REALLY INTERESTING NEW GENE (RING) proteins play important roles in the
regulation of many processes by recognizing target proteins for ubiquitination. Previously …

The transition of traits between genetically related lineages is a fascinating topic that
provides clues to understanding the drivers of speciation and diversification. Much can be …
