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 …

Secondary phloem and xylem tissues are produced through the activity of vascular
cambium, the cylindrical secondary meristem which arises among the primary plant tissues …

High temperature and high humidity (HTHH) conditions increase plant susceptibility to a
variety of diseases, including bacterial wilt in solanaceous plants. Some solanaceous plant …

Developmental boundaries play an important role in coordinating the growth and patterning
of lateral organs. In plants, specification of dorsiventrality is critical to leaf morphogenesis …

Gene regulation is a dynamic process in which transcription factors (TFs) play an important
role in controlling spatiotemporal gene expression. To enhance our global understanding of …

Thousands of long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) have been identified in plant
genomes. While some lincRNAs have been characterized as important regulators in …

In plants the dorsoventral boundary of leaves defines an axis of symmetry through the centre
of the organ separating the top (dorsal) and bottom (ventral) tissues. Although the …

Small RNAs have emerged as a new class of mobile signals. Here, we investigate their
mechanism of action and show that mobile small RNAs generate sharply defined domains of …

We have analyzed the link between the gene regulation and growth during the early stages
of flower development in Arabidopsis. Starting from time-lapse images, we generated a 4D …

A defining feature of plant leaves is their flattened shape. This shape depends on an
antagonism between the genes that specify adaxial (top) and abaxial (bottom) tissue …
