Leaves provide energy for plants, and consequently for animals, through photosynthesis.
Despite their important functions, plant leaf developmental processes and their underlying …

The phytohormones auxin and cytokinin interact to regulate many plant growth and
developmental processes. Elements involved in the biosynthesis, inactivation, transport …

Cytokinins are N 6 substituted adenine derivatives that affect many aspects of plant growth
and development, including cell division, shoot initiation and growth, leaf senescence …

Grain number is a flexible trait that strongly contributes to grain yield. In rice (Oryza sativa),
the OsMKKK10-OsMKK4-OsMPK6 cascade, which is negatively regulated by the dual …

Highlights•Cytokinins regulate cell proliferation, affecting mitosis and endoreplication.•
Cytokinins control the cell cycle both at the G 1/S and G 2/M transitions.•Cytokinins have …

The astonishingly long lives of plants and their regeneration capacity depend on the activity
of plant stem cells. As in animals, stem cells reside in stem cell niches, which produce …

A fascinating feature of plant growth and development is that plants initiate organs
continually throughout their lifespan. The ability to do this relies on specialized groups of …

In angiosperms, a negative feedback pathway involving CLAVATA3 (CLV3) peptide and
WUSCHEL transcription factor maintains the stem-cell population in the shoot apical …

Cell-to-cell communication is crucial for the coherent functioning of multicellular organisms,
and they have evolved intricate molecular mechanisms to achieve such communication …

Plants exhibit remarkable lineage plasticity, allowing them to regenerate organs that differ
from their respective origins. Such developmental plasticity is dependent on the activity of …
