Vascular wilts are among the most destructive plant diseases that occur in annual crops as
well as in woody perennials. These diseases are generally caused by soil-borne bacteria …

Plant cell walls are complex, dynamic cellular structures essential for plant growth,
development, physiology and adaptation. Plant Cell Walls provides an in depth and diverse …

Land plants evolved xylem vessels to conduct water and nutrients, and to support the plant.
Microarray analysis with a newly established Arabidopsis in vitro xylem vessel element …

The increasing applications of different nanomaterials in the myriad of nano-enabled
products and their potential for leaching have raised considerable environmental, health …

The indeterminate nature of plant growth and development depends on the stem cell system
found in meristems. The Arabidopsis thaliana vascular meristem includes procambium and …

Plant development is subject to hormonal growth control and adapts to environmental cues
such as light or stress. Recently, significant progress has been made in elucidating hormone …

In rice (Oryza sativa), brassinosteroids (BRs) induce cell elongation at the adaxial side of the
lamina joint to promote leaf bending. We identified a rice mutant (ili1-D) showing an …

In plants and animals, small peptide ligands that signal in cell-cell communication have
been suggested to be a crucial component of development. A bioassay of single-cell …

The cell lineages that form the transporting tissues (xylem and phloem) and the intervening
pluripotent procambial tissue originate from stem cells near the root tip. We demonstrate that …
