Substantial diversity exists for both the size and shape of the leaf, the main photosynthetic
organ of flowering plants. The two major forms of leaf are simple leaves, in which the leaf …

Transcription factors (TFs) play a critical role in determining cell fate decisions by integrating
developmental and environmental signals through binding to specific cis-regulatory …

Leaves of seed plants provide an attractive system to study the development and evolution
of form. Leaves show varying degrees of margin complexity ranging from simple, as in …

Plant leaves display considerable variation in shape. Here, we introduce key aspects of leaf
development, focusing on the morphogenetic basis of leaf shape diversity. We discuss the …

How genetically regulated growth shapes organ form is a key problem in developmental
biology. Here, we investigate this problem using the leaflet-bearing complex leaves of …

The interplay between auxin and cytokinins affects facets of plant development as different
as ovule formation and lateral root initiation. Moreover, cytokinins favor complexity in the …

Plants adapt to environmental changes by regulating their development and growth. As an
important interface between plants and their environment, leaf morphogenesis varies …

Key message Lineage-specific evolution of RCO was described in Brassicaceae. BjRCO. 1
and BjRCO. 2 within the complex locus regulated highly lobed-leaf formation in Brassica …

Soybean is a photoperiod-sensitive staple crop. Its photoperiodic flowering has major
consequences for latitudinal adaptation and grain yield. Here, we identify and characterise a …

Mutation is a biased stochastic process, with some types of mutations occurring more
frequently than others. Previous work has used synthetic genotype-phenotype landscapes to …
