Legumes, unlike most land plants, can form symbiotic root nodules with nitrogen‐fixing
bacteria to secure nitrogen for growth. The formation of nitrogen‐fixing nodules on legume …

In order to optimally establish their root systems, plants are endowed with several
mechanisms to use at distinct steps during their development. In this review, we zoom in on …

Root development relies on the establishment of meristematic tissues that give rise to
distinct cell types that differentiate across defined temporal and spatial gradients. Dissection …

Legumes, unlike other plants, have the ability to establish symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing
rhizobia. It has been theorized that a unique property of legume root cortical cells enabled …

Most plant roots have multiple cortex layers that make up the bulk of the organ and play key
roles in physiology, such as flood tolerance and symbiosis. However, little is known about …

In plants, salicylic acid (SA) is a hormone that mediates a plant's defense against pathogens.
SA also takes an active role in a plant's response to various abiotic stresses, including …

The Arabidopsis root has been the subject of intense research over the past decades. This
research has led to significantly improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms …

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are natural plant hormones critical for growth and development. BR
deficient or signaling mutants show significantly shortened root phenotypes. However, for a …

A key question in developmental biology is how cells exchange positional information for
proper patterning during organ development. In plant roots the radial tissue organization is …
