Brassinosteroids (BRs) are steroid hormones that are essential for plant growth and
development. These hormones control the division, elongation and differentiation of various …

Plants have incredible developmental plasticity, enabling them to respond to a wide range of
environmental conditions. Among these conditions is the presence of plant growth …

The Arabidopsis root has been the subject of intense research over the past decades. This
research has led to significantly improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms …

Local accumulation of the plant growth regulator auxin mediates pattern formation in
Arabidopsis roots and influences outgrowth and development of lateral root-and shoot …

Lateral root formation in plants involves the stimulation of mature pericycle cells to proliferate
and redifferentiate to create a new organ. The simple organization of the root of Arabidopsis …

Plant roots can regenerate after excision of their tip, including the stem cell niche. To
determine which developmental program mediates such repair, we applied a combination of …

Vascular tissues in plants are crucial to provide physical support and to transport water,
sugars and hormones and other small signalling molecules throughout the plant. Recent …

A small organizing center, the quiescent center (QC), maintains stem cells in the Arabidopsis
root and defines the stem cell niche. The phytohormone auxin influences the position of this …

Asymmetric cell divisions play an important role in the establishment and propagation of the
cellular pattern of plant tissues. The SHORT-ROOT (SHR) gene is required for the …

Root formation in plants involves the continuous interpretation of positional cues.
Physiological studies have linked root formation to auxins. An auxin response element …
