Leaf shape is spectacularly diverse. As a major component of plant architecture and an
interface for light capture, gas exchange, and thermoregulation, the potential contributions of …

Auxins (IAA) and cytokinins (CKs) are the most influential phytohormones, having
multifaceted roles in plants. They are key regulators of plant growth and developmental …

The primary function of leaves is to provide an interface between plants and their
environment for gas exchange, light exposure and thermoregulation. Leaves have, therefore …

Leaves show great diversity in shape, size, and color in nature. Interestingly, many plant
species have the ability to alter their leaf shape in response to their surrounding …

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 …

Plant architecture is genetically controlled, but is influenced by environmental factors. Plants
have evolved adaptive mechanisms that allow changes in their architecture under stress, in …

Soil flooding severely impairs agricultural crop production. Plants can cope with flooding
conditions by embracing an orchestrated set of morphological adaptations and physiological …

For decades a small number of model species have rightly occupied a privileged position in
laboratory experiments, but it is becoming increasingly clear that our knowledge of biology is …

Many plants are able to regenerate upon cutting, and this process can be enhanced in vitro
by incubating explants on hormone-supplemented media. While such protocols have been …

Land plants have evolved the ability to cope with submergence. Amphibious plants are
adapted to both aerial and aquatic environments through phenotypic plasticity in leaf form …
