The phytohormone auxin is a major regulator of plant growth and development. Many
aspects of these processes depend on the multiple controls exerted by auxin on cell division …

Cell cycle regulation is of pivotal importance for plant growth and development. Although
plant cell division shares basic mechanisms with all eukaryotes, plants have evolved novel …

Dynamic cell identities underlie flexible developmental programs. The stomatal lineage in
the Arabidopsis leaf epidermis features asynchronous and indeterminate divisions that can …

Mitogens trigger cell division in animals. In plants, cytokinins, a group of phytohormones
derived from adenine, stimulate cell proliferation. Cytokinin signaling is initiated by …

Transcriptional programs that regulate development are exquisitely controlled in space and
time. Elucidating these programs that underlie development is essential to understanding …

Cell proliferation is an important determinant of plant form, but little is known about how
developmental programs control cell division. Here, we describe the role of microRNA …

Drought is the most important crop yield-limiting factor, and detailed knowledge of its impact
on plant growth regulation is crucial. The maize (Zea mays) leaf growth zone offers unique …

Geminiviruses are small DNA viruses that use plant replication machinery to amplify their
genomes. Microarray analysis of the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) transcriptome in …

Through its photosynthetic capacity the leaf provides the basis for growth of the whole plant.
In order to improve crops for higher productivity and resistance for future climate scenarios, it …

The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-associated
endonuclease 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) system has been demonstrated to be a robust genome …
