Leaves provide energy for plants, and consequently for animals, through photosynthesis.
Despite their important functions, plant leaf developmental processes and their underlying …

For decades, transposable elements have been known to produce a wide variety of changes
in plant gene expression and function. This has led to the idea that transposable element …

Knotted1-like homeobox (KNOX) proteins are homeodomain transcription factors that
maintain an important pluripotent cell population called the shoot apical meristem, which …

Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are the most common developmental anomaly and are the
leading non-infectious cause of mortality in newborns. Only one causative gene, NKX2-5 …

Gene expression is central to the genotype-phenotype relationship in all organisms, and it is
an important component of the genetic basis for evolutionary change in diverse aspects of …

The hydraulic conductance of the leaf lamina (Klamina) substantially constrains whole‐plant
water transport, but little is known of its association with leaf structure and function. Klamina …

Plant lateral organs are often elaborated through repetitive formation of developmental units,
which progress robustly in predetermined patterns along their axes. Leaflets in compound …

The development of plant leaves follows a common basic program that is flexible and is
adjusted according to species, developmental stage and environmental circumstances …

Angiosperm leaves manifest a remarkable diversity of shapes that range from
developmental sequences within a shoot and within crown response to microenvironment to …

Abstract Solanum section Lycopersicon (Solanaceae) includes the cultivated tomato (S.
