Plant organ development to a specific size and shape is controlled by cell proliferation and
cell expansion. Here, we identify a novel Myb-like Arabidopsis gene, Development Related …

Background The growth and development of rice (Oryza sativa L.) are affected by multiple
factors, such as ROS homeostasis and utilization of iron. Here, we demonstrate that …

Plant CIRCADIAN CLOCK ASSOCIATED1 (CCA1)-like proteins are a class of single-repeat
MYELOBLASTOSIS ONCOGENE (MYB) transcription factors generally featured by a highly …

Epidermal cells are the main avenue for signal and material exchange between plants and
the environment. Leaf epidermal cells primarily include pavement cells, guard cells, and …

Plants, as sessile organisms, have acquired through evolution sophisticated regulatory
signal pathways to overcome external variable factors during each stage of the life cycle …

Highlights•Stochastic fluctuations can initiate developmental patterning.•Robustness
mechanisms can be identified via mutants that increase variability.•Variability can produce …

The cell wall is one major determinant of plant cell morphology, and is an attractive
bioresource. Here, we report a novel strategy to modify plant cell wall property by small …

Significance: Recently, the agro-biotech industry has been driven by overcoming the
limitations imposed by fluctuating environmental stress conditions on crop productivity. A …

In plants, structural and physiological evidence has suggested the presence of biologically
active natriuretic peptides (PNPs). PNPs are secreted into the apoplast, are systemically …

Tetraploid wheats (Triticum turgidum L.), including durum wheat (T. turgidum ssp. durum
(Desf.) Husn.), are important crops with high nutritional and cultural values. However, their …
