The phytohormone auxin is a major regulator of plant growth and development. Many
aspects of these processes depend on the multiple controls exerted by auxin on cell division …

Size control of multicellular organisms poses a longstanding biological question that has
always fascinated scientists. Currently the question is far from being resolved because of the …

In recent years, several regulatory systems that link carbon nutrient status to plant growth
and development have emerged. In this paper, we discuss the growth promoting functions of …

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

Plants have developed sophisticated mechanisms to survive when in unfavorable
environments. Autophagy is a macromolecule degradation pathway that recycles damaged …

Plants, unlike animals, have plastic organ growth that is largely dependent on environmental
information. However, so far, little is known about how this information is perceived and …

With unfavourable climate changes and an increasing global population, there is a great
need for more productive and stress-tolerant crops. As traditional methods of crop …

Through its photosynthetic capacity the leaf provides the basis for growth of the whole plant.
In order to improve crops for higher productivity and resistance for future climate scenarios, it …

To gain more insight into the physiological function of shade and how shade affects leaf
size, we investigated the growth, leaf anatomical structure, hormones and genes …

In plants, where cells cannot migrate, asymmetric cell divisions (ACDs) must be confined to
the appropriate spatial context. We investigate tissue-generating asymmetric divisions in a …
