Trichome patterning in Arabidopsis rosette leaves serves as a model system to study how
individual cells are determined in a regular spacing pattern from initially equivalent cells. A …

The aerial organs of plants typically produce trichomes that may adopt various functions,
including light, wind, frost, and herbivore protection. Trichomes are of epidermal origin …

Roots hairs are cylindrical extensions of root epidermal cells that are important for
acquisition of nutrients, microbe interactions, and plant anchorage. The molecular …

How growth and proliferation are precisely controlled in organs during development and
how the regulation of cell division contributes to the formation of complex cell type patterns …

Plant organs, including leaves and roots, develop by means of a multilevel cross talk
between gene regulation, patterned cell division and cell expansion, and tissue mechanics …

The specification of cell fates during development requires precise regulatory mechanisms
to ensure robust cell type patterns. Theoretical models of pattern formation suggest that a …

Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) trichome development is a model system for studying cell
development, cell differentiation, and the cell cycle. Our previous studies have shown that …

Plant growth is largely post‐embryonic and depends on meristems that are active
throughout the lifespan of an individual. Developmental patterns rely on the coordinated …

Understanding how organisms adapt to the environment is a major goal of modern biology.
Parallel evolution—the independent evolution of similar phenotypes in different populations …

Background and aims During the development of multicellular organisms, cells are capable
of interacting with each other through a range of biological and physical mechanisms. A …
