The leaf epidermis comprises the outermost layer of cells that protect plants against
environmental stresses such as drought, ultraviolet radiation, and pathogen attack …

Class IV homeodomain leucine-zipper transcription factors (HD-Zip IV TFs) are key
regulators of epidermal differentiation that are characterized by a DNA-binding HD in …

Homeobox genes comprise an important group of genes that are responsible for regulation
of developmental processes. These genes determine cell differentiation and cell fate in all …

Land plants have evolved a single layer of epidermal cells, which are characterized by
mostly anticlinal cell division patterns, formation of a waterproof coat called cuticle, and …

Plant development is adapted to changing environmental conditions for optimizing growth.
This developmental adaptation is influenced by signals from the environment, which act as …

Recent plant development studies have identified regulatory pathways for epidermal cell
differentiation in Arabidopsis thaliana. Interestingly, some of such pathways contain …

Class IV homeodomain leucine zipper (C4HDZ) genes are plant-specific transcription
factors that, based on phenotypes in Arabidopsis thaliana, play an important role in …

Development of the epidermis involves members of the class–IV homeodomain‐leucine
zipper (HD‐ZIP IV) transcription factors. The Arabidopsis HD‐ZIP IV family consists of 16 …

Transcription factors of the plant-specific homeodomain leucine zipper IV (HD-ZIP IV) family
have been found from moss to higher plants, and several family members have been …

It has recently become evident that plant development, like animal development, has
molecular patterning modules that are reused again and again to create different cell type …
