Perception of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) constitutes the first layer of
plant innate immunity and is referred to as PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI). For a long time …

Plants are hosts to a wide array of pathogens from all kingdoms of life. In the absence of an
active immune system or combinatorial diversifications that lead to recombination-driven …

Regulation of plant height, one of the most important agronomic traits, is the focus of
intensive research for improving crop performance [1]. Stem elongation takes place as a …

TCP transcription factors constitute a small family of plant‐specific bHLH‐containing, DNA‐
binding proteins that have been implicated in the control of cell proliferation in plants …

Plant organs grow to characteristic sizes that are genetically controlled. In animals, signaling
by mobile growth factors is thought to be an effective mechanism for measuring primordium …

Plant organ growth and final size are determined by coordinated cell proliferation and
expansion. The BIGPETALp (BPEp) basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor was …

Leaves have a central role in plant energy capture and carbon conversion and therefore
must continuously adapt their development to prevailing environmental conditions. To reveal …

Organ growth is controlled by both intrinsic genetic factors and external environmental
signals. However, the molecular mechanisms that coordinate plant organ growth and …

Aquaporins are water channel proteins that facilitate the passage of water through biological
membranes and play a crucial role in plant growth. We showed that ethylene treatment …

Postgerminative growth of seed plants requires specialized metabolism, such as
gluconeogenesis, to support heterotrophic growth of seedlings until the functional …
