Nematodes are ubiquitous and cosmopolitan parasites of vascular plants, causing
substantial crop damage. Although various species exploit all parts of the plant, roots are the …

The leaves of seed plants can be classified as being either simple or compound according
to their shape. Two hypotheses address the homology between simple and compound …

To identify genes targeted by the tobacco KNOX homeodomain protein, Nicotiana tabacum
homeobox 15 (NTH15), we have generated an inducible system using the human …

Leaves are specialized organs characterized by defined developmental destiny and
determinate growth. The overexpression of Knotted1-like homeobox genes in different …

A bstract Plant parasitic nematodes are ubiquitous and cosmopolitan pathogens of vascular
plants and exploit all parts of the roots and shoots, causing substantial crop damage …

Modification of plant hormone biosynthesis through the introduction of bacterial genes is a
natural form of genetic engineering, which has been exploited in numerous studies on …

Root-knot nematodes and rhizobia establish interactions with roots characterized by the de
novo induction of host structures, termed giant cells and nodules, respectively. Two …

Using a transgenic line that overexpresses a fusion of the KNAT2 (KNOTTED-like
Arabidopsis) homeodomain protein and the hormone-binding domain of the glucocorticoid …

Chromatin organization, nuclear DNA methylation and endogenous zeatin localization were
investigated in shoot apical meristems (SAM) during juvenile and adult phases of peach …

Despite recent progress, the mechanisms governing shoot morphogenesis in higher plants
are only partially understood. Classical physiological studies have suggested that gradients …
