The timing of flowering affects the success of sexual reproduction. This developmental event
also determines crop yield, biomass, and longevity. Therefore, this mechanism has been …

The MYB family of proteins is large, functionally diverse and represented in all eukaryotes.
Most MYB proteins function as transcription factors with varying numbers of MYB domain …

The shoot apical meristem allows for reiterative formation of new aerial structures throughout
the life cycle of a plant. We use single-cell RNA sequencing to define the cellular taxonomy …

Tea (Camellia sinensis) is concocted from tea plant shoot tips that produce catechins,
caffeine, theanine, and terpenoids, which collectively determine the rich flavors and health …

Plants monitor changes in photoperiod and temperature to synchronize their flowering with
seasonal changes to maximize fitness. In the Arabidopsis photoperiodic flowering pathway …

US maize yield has increased eight-fold in the past 80 years, with half of the gain attributed
to selection by breeders. During this time, changes in maize leaf angle and size have altered …

Plants maintain the ability to form lateral appendages throughout their life cycle and form
leaves as the principal lateral appendages of the stem. Leaves initiate at the peripheral zone …

MYB factors represent a family of proteins that include the conserved MYB DNA-binding
domain. In contrast to animals, plants contain a MYB-protein subfamily that is characterised …

NAC proteins constitute one of the largest families of plant-specific transcription factors, and
the family is present in a wide range of land plants. Here, we summarize the biological and …

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