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

The developmental plasticity of the root system represents a key adaptive trait enabling
plants to cope with abiotic stresses such as drought and is therefore important in the current …

Root systems can display variable architectures that contribute to survival strategies of
plants. The model plant Arabidopsis thaliana possesses a tap root system, in which the …

De novo organogenesis is a process through which wounded or detached plant tissues or
organs regenerate adventitious roots and shoots. Plant hormones play key roles in de novo …

Under the natural environment, nutrient signals interact with phytohormones to coordinate
and reprogram plant growth and survival. Sugars are important molecules that control …

Root system architecture is an important determinant of below-ground resource capture and
hence overall plant fitness. The plant hormone auxin plays a central role in almost every …

Upon disturbance of their function by stress, mitochondria can signal to the nucleus to steer
the expression of responsive genes. This mitochondria-to-nucleus communication is often …

De novo organogenesis, which gives rise to adventitious roots and shoots, is a type of plant
regeneration for survival after wounding. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), two main cell …

Plants continuously form new organs in different developmental contexts in response to
environmental cues. Underground lateral roots initiate from prepatterned cells in the main …
