Since the discovery two decades ago that transgenes are efficiently integrated into the
genome of Physcomitrella patens by homologous recombination, this moss has been a …

Land plant life cycles are separated into distinct haploid gametophyte and diploid
sporophyte stages. Indeterminate apical growth evolved independently in bryophyte (moss …

During development, both animals and plants exploit asymmetric cell division (ACD) to
increase tissue complexity, a process that usually generates cells dissimilar in size …

Phyllotaxis, the geometry of leaf arrangement around stems, determines plant architecture.
Molecular interactions coordinating the formation of phyllotactic patterns have mainly been …

The colonization of land by plants, and the greening of the terrestrial biosphere, was one of
the most important events in the history of life on Earth. The transition of plants from water to …

ABSTRACT A complete picture of how signaling pathways lead to multicellularity is largely
unknown. Previously, we generated mutations in a protein prenylation enzyme, GGB, and …

Quantitative plant biology is an interdisciplinary field that builds on a long history of
biomathematics and biophysics. Today, thanks to high spatiotemporal resolution tools and …

The plant‐specific TOPLESS (TPL) family of transcriptional corepressors is integral to
multiple angiosperm developmental processes. Despite this, we know little about TPL …

The precise control of cell growth and proliferation underpins the development of plants and
animals. These factors affect the development and size of organs and the body. In plants, the …

Calpains are cysteine proteases that control cell fate transitions whose loss of function
causes severe, pleiotropic phenotypes in eukaryotes. Although mainly considered as …
