The expansion of gene families encoding regulatory proteins is typically associated with the
increase in complexity characteristic of multi‐cellular organisms. The MYB and basic helix …

Growth-regulating factors (GRFs) are plant-specific transcription factors that were originally
identified for their roles in stem and leaf development, but recent studies highlight them to be …

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 …

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

The spatial arrangement of interphase chromosomes in the nucleus is important for gene
expression and genome function in animals and in plants. The recently developed Hi-C …

As one of the largest families of transcription factors (TFs) in plants, R2R3-MYB proteins play
crucial roles in regulating a series of plant-specific biological processes. Although the …

Coordination of the maintenance of the undifferentiated fate of cells in the shoot meristem
and the promotion of cellular differentiation in plant organs is essential for the development …

Plants are sessile organisms, some of which can live for over a thousand years. Unlike most
animals, plants employ a post-embryonic mode of development driven by the continuous …

Flowers are the most complex structures of plants. Studies of Arabidopsis thaliana, which
has typical eudicot flowers, have been fundamental in advancing the structural and …

Reversible histone acetylation and deacetylation at the N-terminus of histone tails play
crucial roles in regulation of eukaryotic gene activity. Acetylation of core histones usually …
