Recent achievements in plant microRNA (miRNA), a large class of small and non-coding
RNAs, are very exciting. A wide array of techniques involving forward genetic, molecular …

The TCP family of transcription factors is named after the first 4 characterized members,
namely TEOSINTE BRANCHED1 (TB1) from maize (Zea mays), CYCLOIDEA (CYC) from …

Sophisticated regulation of gene expression, including microRNAs (miRNAs) and their
target genes, is required for leaf differentiation, growth, and senescence. The impact of …

Plants are sessile and as such their reactions to environmental challenges differ from those
of mobile organisms. Many adaptions involve growth responses and hence, growth …

To compete for nutrients in diverse soil microenvironments, plants proliferate lateral roots
preferentially in nutrient-rich zones. For nitrate, root foraging involves local and systemic …

The characteristic leaf shapes we see in all plants are in good part the outcome of the
combined action of several transcription factor networks that translate into cell division …

TEOSINTE BRANCHED1, CYCLOIDEA, PROLIFERATING CELL FACTOR 1 and 2 (TCP)
proteins constitute a plant-specific transcription factors family exerting effects on multiple …

Seed germination is a major developmental transition in a plant's life that involves the
concerted action of several genetic and physiological pathways (Holdsworth et al., 2008) …

Background TCP proteins are plant-specific transcription factors, which are known to have a
wide range of functions in different plant species such as in leaf development, flower …

Class-I TCP transcription factors are plant-specific developmental regulators. Inthis study,
the role of one such rice gene, OsTCP19, in water-deficit andsalt stress response was …
