Nicotiana benthamiana is the most widely used experimental host in plant virology, due
mainly to the large number of diverse plant viruses that can successfully infect it …

Homeostasis, a set-value for metabolism under optimal conditions, is rarely achieved by
plants because of the cost exerted by external stress factors: climatic, biotic, and nutrient …

Genome sequencing has resulted in the identification of a large number of uncharacterized
genes with unknown functions. It is widely recognized that determination of the intracellular …

Gateway cloning technology facilitates high‐throughput cloning of target sequences by
making use of the bacteriophage lambda site‐specific recombination system. Target …

In trees, production of intercellular signals and accessibility of signal conduits jointly govern
dormancy cycling at the shoot apex. We identified 10 putative cell wall 1, 3-β-glucanase …

Members of the Arabidopsis thaliana PHOSPHATE TRANSPORTER1 (PHT1) family are key
players in acquisition of Pi from the rhizosphere, and their regulation is indispensable for the …

The organs of multicellular species consist of cell types that must function together to
perform specific tasks. One critical organ function is responding to internal or external …

Currently, examination of the cellular structure of plant organs and the gene expression
therein largely relies on the production of tissue sections. Here, we present a staining …

Vacuoles play central roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses. To better
understand vacuole function and biogenesis we have characterized the vegetative vacuolar …

A long-term goal of Arabidopsis research is to define the minimal gene set needed to
produce a viable plant with a normal phenotype under diverse conditions. This will require …
