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

Main conclusion Present review addresses the advances made in the understanding of
biogenesis of plant small RNAs and their role in plant development. We discuss the …

Dynamic cell identities underlie flexible developmental programs. The stomatal lineage in
the Arabidopsis leaf epidermis features asynchronous and indeterminate divisions that can …

As the main photosynthetic instruments of vascular plants, leaves are crucial and complex
plant organs. A strict organization of leaf mesophyll and epidermal cell layers orchestrates …

Leaves are the most important organs for plants. Without leaves, plants cannot capture light
energy or synthesize organic compounds via photosynthesis. Without leaves, plants would …

A key innovation in leaf evolution is the acquisition of a flat lamina with adaxial–abaxial
polarity, which optimizes the primary function of photosynthesis. The developmental …

Mounting evidence from genomic and transcriptomic studies suggests that most genetic
networks regulating the morphogenesis of land plant sporophytes were co-opted and …

Highlights•Many conserved miRNA networks control cell proliferation and organ
growth.•miRNA-transcription factor networks are deeply interconnected.•miRNA-targets link …

Ranunculus trichophyllus is an amphibious plant that produces thin and cylindrical leaves if
grown under water but thick and broad leaves if grown on land. We found that such …

YABBY genes are seed plant‐specific transcriptional regulators that are involved in diverse
aspects of leaf, shoot and flower development. A series of duplications gave rise to five gene …
