Leaves are the primary organs for photosynthesis, and as such have a pivotal role for plant
growth and development. Leaf development is a multifactorial and dynamic process …

Very early somatic embryogenesis has been recognized as a powerful method to propagate
plants in vitro. For some woody species and in particular for some coniferous trees, somatic …

Abstract Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important crop with a high photosynthetic
rate and high yield. It is classified as a C3–C4 plant based on its photosynthetic and …

Maize is the highest yielding cereal crop grown worldwide for grain or silage. Here, we show
that modulating the expression of the maize PLASTOCHRON1 (ZmPLA1) gene, encoding a …

Plant leaves undergo a series of developmental changes from leaf primordium initiation
through growth and maturation to senescence throughout their life span. Although the …

Plant bZIP group I transcription factors have been reported mainly for their role during
vascular development and osmosensory responses. Interestingly, bZIP29 has been …

Medal (note the leaf scroll at the top) received by W. Adams at the Missouri State Science
Fair. The backdrop of leaves includes those from (beginning in the upper left, moving …

Abstract In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), reduced expression of the transcriptional
regulator PEAPOD2 (PPD2) results in propeller-like rosettes with enlarged and dome …

Prostate cancer is the most common cause of cancer‐related deaths in men. Current
practices for treatment of prostate cancer are less than satisfactory because of metastasis …

The Arabidopsis petal is a simple laminar organ whose development is largely impervious to
environmental effects, making it an excellent model for dissecting the regulation of cell-cycle …
