Despite recent advancements in plant molecular biology and biotechnology, providing
enough, and safe, food for an increasing world population remains a challenge. The …

Cotton fiber provides the predominant plant textile in the world, and it is also a model for
plant cell wall biosynthesis. The development of the single-celled cotton fiber takes place …

The three amino acid loop extension (TALE) genes of the homeobox superfamily are
responsible for numerous biological functions in plants. Herein, we identified a total of 72 …

Key message AtHSPR forms a complex with KNAT5 and OFP1 to regulate primary root
growth through GA-mediated root meristem activity. KNAT5–OFP1 functions as a negative …

Branching is an important agronomic and economic trait in cut chrysanthemums. The axillary
meristem (AM) formation of the axillary buds of cut chrysanthemums has a decisive role in its …
