Shoot architecture is determined by the organization and activities of apical, axillary,
intercalary, secondary, and inflorescence meristems and by the subsequent development of …

People have grafted plants since antiquity for propagation, to increase yields, and to
improve stress tolerance. This cutting and joining of tissues activates an incredible …

Plants frequently encounter wounding and have evolved an extraordinary regenerative
capacity to heal the wounds. However, the wound signal that triggers regenerative …

Plants reprogram somatic cells following injury and regenerate new tissues and organs.
Upon perception of inductive cues, somatic cells often dedifferentiate, proliferate, and …

Compared with animals, plants generally possess a high degree of developmental plasticity
and display various types of tissue or organ regeneration. This regenerative capacity can be …

Plants are sessile and have to cope with environmentally induced damage through
modification of growth and defense pathways. How tissue regeneration is triggered in such …

Plants develop unorganized cell masses like callus and tumors in response to various biotic
and abiotic stimuli. Since the historical discovery that the combination of two growth …

Plants as sessile organisms have remarkable developmental plasticity ensuring heir
continuous adaptation to the environment. An extreme example is somatic embryogenesis …

Plants are known for their capacity to regenerate the whole body through de novo formation
of apical meristems from a mass of proliferating cells named callus. Exogenous cytokinin …

A plant's roots system determines both the capacity of a sessile organism to acquire
nutrients and water, as well as providing a means to monitor the soil for a range of …
