Pea (Pisum sativum L.) in the Genomic Era
Pea (Pisum sativum L.) was the original model organism used in Mendel's discovery (1866)
of the laws of inheritance, making it the foundation of modern plant genetics. However …

Modulation of plant growth by HD‐Zip class I and II transcription factors in response to environmental stimuli
Plant development is adapted to changing environmental conditions for optimizing growth.
This developmental adaptation is influenced by signals from the environment, which act as …

Leaf shape evolution through duplication, regulatory diversification, and loss of a homeobox gene
In this work, we investigate morphological differences between Arabidopsis thaliana, which
has simple leaves, and its relative Cardamine hirsuta, which has dissected leaves …

STENOFOLIA Regulates Blade Outgrowth and Leaf Vascular Patterning in Medicago truncatula and Nicotiana sylvestris
Dicot leaf primordia initiate at the flanks of the shoot apical meristem and extend laterally by
cell division and cell expansion to form the flat lamina, but the molecular mechanism of …

Genome-wide analysis of mutations in mutant lineages selected following fast-neutron irradiation mutagenesis of Arabidopsis thaliana
Ionizing radiation has long been known to induce heritable mutagenic change in DNA
sequence. However, the genome-wide effect of radiation is not well understood. Here we …
