Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major crop that feeds 40% of the world's population.
Over the past several decades, advances in genomics have led to tremendous …

Shoot meristems are maintained by pluripotent stem cells that are controlled by CLAVATA-
WUSCHEL feedback signaling. This pathway, which coordinates stem cell proliferation with …

Several yield-related traits selected during crop domestication and improvement, are
associated with increases in meristem size, which is controlled by CLE peptide signals in the …

Plants maintain populations of pluripotent stem cells in shoot apical meristems (SAMs),
which continuously produce new aboveground organs. We used single-cell RNA …

Crop productivity depends on activity of meristems that produce optimized plant
architectures, including that of the maize ear. A comprehensive understanding of …

Plants maintain the ability to form lateral appendages throughout their life cycle and form
leaves as the principal lateral appendages of the stem. Leaves initiate at the peripheral zone …

Maize ear size and kernel number differ among lines, however, little is known about the
molecular basis of ear length and its impact on kernel number. Here, we characterize a …

A dramatic evolution of fruit size has accompanied the domestication and improvement of
fruit-bearing crop species. In tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), naturally occurring cis …

Precise control of plant stem cell proliferation is necessary for the continuous and
reproducible development of plant organs,. The peptide ligand CLAVATA3 (CLV3) and its …

Temperature is one of the main environmental cues affecting plant growth and development,
and plants have evolved multiple mechanisms to sense and acclimate to high temperature …
