In angiosperms, double fertilization triggers the concomitant development of two closely
juxtaposed tissues, the embryo and the endosperm. Successful seed development and …

Embryogenesis is the beginning of plant development, yet the cell fate decisions and
patterning steps that occur during this time are reiterated during development to build the …

Cuticles, which are composed of a variety of aliphatic molecules, impregnate epidermal cell
walls forming diffusion barriers that cover almost all the aerial surfaces in higher plants. In …

Plants use leucine-rich repeat receptor kinases (LRR-RKs) to sense sequence diverse
peptide hormones at the cell surface. A 3.0-Å crystal structure of the LRR-RK GSO1/SGN3 …

Developing the next plant generation within the seed requires the coordination of complex
programs driving pattern formation, growth, and differentiation of the three main seed …

Seeds are essential for human civilization, so understanding the molecular events
underpinning seed development and the zygotic embryo it contains is important. In addition …

Multicellular development produces patterns of specialized cell types. Yet, it is often unclear
how individual cells within a field of identical cells initiate the patterning process. Using live …

Plant cells maintain remarkable developmental plasticity, allowing them to clonally
reproduce and to repair tissues following wounding; yet plant cells normally stably maintain …

Moderate leaf rolling is beneficial for leaf erectness and compact plant architecture.
However, our understanding regarding the molecular mechanisms of leaf rolling is still …

The seeds of flowering plants contain three genetically distinct structures: the embryo,
endosperm, and seed coat. The embryo and endosperm need to interact and exchange …
