Endoreduplication is the major source of somatic endopolyploidy in higher plants, and leads
to variation in cell ploidy levels due to iterative rounds of DNA synthesis in the absence of …

Phytohormones affect plant growth and development. Many phytohormones are involved in
the initiation of trichome development, which can help prevent damage from UV radiation …

The leaf epidermis represents a multifunctional tissue consisting of trichomes, pavement
cells and stomata, the specialized cellular pores of the leaf. Pavement cells and stomata …

Plant hormones can adjust the physiology and development of plants to enhance their
adaptation to biotic and abiotic challenges. Jasmonic acid (JA), one of the immunity …

Differentiation of specialized cell types requires precise cell-cycle control. Plant stomata are
generated through asymmetric divisions of a stem-cell-like precursor followed by a single …

How cell size and number are determined during organ development remains a
fundamental question in cell biology. Here, we identified a GRAS family transcription factor …

During lateral root initiation, lateral root founder cells undergo asymmetric cell divisions that
generate daughter cells with different sizes and fates, a prerequisite for correct primordium …

As like in mammalian system, the DNA damage responsive cell cycle checkpoint functions
play crucial role for maintenance of genome stability in plants through repairing of damages …

Stress conditions such as UV-B exposure activates MAPKs in Arabidopsis and rice. UV-B
radiation is hazardous to plant as it causes photosystem disruption, DNA damage and ROS …

Due to their sessile lifestyle, plants are especially exposed to various stresses, including
genotoxic stress, which results in altered genome integrity. Upon the detection of DNA …
