Single-cell approaches are quickly changing our view on biological systems by increasing
the spatiotemporal resolution of our analyses to the level of the individual cell. The field of …

Plants are fascinating and complex organisms. A comprehensive understanding of the
organization, function and evolution of plant genes is essential to disentangle important …

A major challenge in developmental biology is unraveling the precise regulation of plant
stem cell maintenance and the transition to a fully differentiated cell. In this review, we …

Genome-wide gene expression maps with a high spatial resolution have substantially
accelerated plant molecular science. However, the number of characterized tissues and …

A major goal of global gene expression profiling in plant seeds has been to investigate the
parental contributions to the transcriptomes of early embryos and endosperm. However …

Soon after fertilization of egg and sperm, plant genomes become transcriptionally activated
and drive a series of coordinated cell divisions to form the basic body plan during …

During early plant embryogenesis, precursors for all major tissues and stem cells are
formed. While several components of the regulatory framework are known, how cell fates are …

Asymmetric cell division (ACD) is a fundamental process that generates new cell types
during development in eukaryotic species. In plant development, post‐embryonic …

Embryonic development represents an important reproductive phase of sexually
reproducing plant species. The fusion of egg and sperm produces the plant zygote, a …

In plants, many signalling molecules, such as phytohormones, miRNAs, transcription factors,
and small signalling peptides, drive growth and development. However, very few small …
