Auxin plays essential roles in plant normal growth and development. The auxin signaling
pathway relies on the auxin gradient within tissues and cells, which is facilitated by both …

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

Plants maintain populations of pluripotent stem cells in shoot apical meristems (SAMs),
which continuously produce new aboveground organs. We used single-cell RNA …

Shoot apical meristems are stem cell niches that balance proliferation with the incorporation
of daughter cells into organ primordia. This balance is maintained by CLAVATA–WUSCHEL …

Plant architecture is shaped through the continuous formation of organs by meristems [1].
Class I KNOTTED1-like homeobox (KNOXI) genes are expressed in the shoot apical …

Roots are highly plastic organs enabling plants to adapt to a changing below‐ground
environment. In addition to abiotic factors like nutrients or mechanical resistance, plant roots …

The phytohormone auxin is a key regulator of plant growth and development that exerts its
functions through F-box receptors. Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) has four partially …

In order to understand the molecular genetic mechanisms of rice (O ryza sativa) organ
development, we studied the narrow leaf2 narrow leaf3 (nal2 nal3; hereafter nal2/3) double …

The plant growth hormone auxin plays a critical role in the initiation of lateral organs and
meristems. Here, we identify and characterize a mutant, sparse inflorescence1 (spi1), which …

The role of mechanical signals in cell identity determination remains poorly explored in
tissues. Furthermore, because mechanical stress is widespread, mechanical signals are …
