Plant shoots typically grow against the gravity vector to access light, whereas roots grow
downward into the soil to take up water and nutrients. These gravitropic responses can be …

Tropisms, growth responses to environmental stimuli such as light or gravity, are spectacular
examples of adaptive plant development. The plant hormone auxin serves as a major …

In eukaryotes, three-dimensional genome organization is critical for transcriptional
regulation of gene expression. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can modulate chromatin …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …

Regeneration, a remarkable example of developmental plasticity displayed by both plants
and animals, involves successive developmental events driven in response to …

Lateral roots are typically maintained at non-vertical angles with respect to gravity. These
gravitropic setpoint angles are intriguing because their maintenance requires that roots are …

Auxin plays crucial roles in multiple developmental processes, such as embryogenesis,
organogenesis, cell determination and division, as well as tropic responses. These …

The development and morphology of vascular plants is critically determined by synthesis
and proper distribution of the phytohormone auxin. The directed cell-to-cell distribution of …

Auxin controls almost every aspect of plant development. Auxin is distributed within the plant
by passive diffusion and active cell-to-cell transport. PIN-FORMED (PIN) auxin efflux …

Phototropism is an adaptation response, through which plants grow towards the light. It
involves light perception and asymmetric distribution of the plant hormone auxin,,,,,,,,,,. Here …
