The development of plant leaves follows a common basic program that is flexible and is
adjusted according to species, developmental stage and environmental circumstances …

A number of plant features and traits, such as overall plant architecture, leaf structure and
morphological features, vascular architecture and flowering time are important determinants …

Current approaches for nanomaterial delivery in plants are unable to target specific
subcellular compartments with high precision, limiting our ability to engineer plant function …

US maize yield has increased eight-fold in the past 80 years, with half of the gain attributed
to selection by breeders. During this time, changes in maize leaf angle and size have altered …

Cell proliferation is an important determinant of plant form, but little is known about how
developmental programs control cell division. Here, we describe the role of microRNA …

Abstract CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON1 (CUC1), CUC2, and CUC3 define the boundary
domain around organs in the Arabidopsis thaliana meristem. CUC1 and CUC2 transcripts …

Abstract Background The classical C2H2 zinc finger domain is involved in a wide range of
functions and can bind to DNA, RNA and proteins. The comparison of zinc finger proteins in …

Flowers are the most complex structures of plants. Studies of Arabidopsis thaliana, which
has typical eudicot flowers, have been fundamental in advancing the structural and …
