Plant cells biosynthesize primary cell walls (PCW) in all cells and produce secondary cell
walls (SCWs) in specific cell types that conduct water and/or provide mechanical support …

The Arabidopsis root has been the subject of intense research over the past decades. This
research has led to significantly improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms …

Cells of eukaryotic multicellular organisms have inherent heterogeneity. Recent advances in
single-cell gene expression studies enable us to explore transcriptional regulation in …

Single cell RNA sequencing can yield high-resolution cell-type–specific expression
signatures that reveal new cell types and the developmental trajectories of cell lineages …

Brassinosteroids are plant steroid hormones that regulate diverse processes, such as cell
division and cell elongation, through gene regulatory networks that vary in space and time …

Climate change, malnutrition, and food insecurity are the inevitable challenges being faced
by the agriculture sector today. Plants are susceptible to extreme temperatures during the …

Detailed functional analyses of many fundamentally important plant genes via conventional
loss-of-function approaches are impeded by the severe pleiotropic phenotypes resulting …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a fundamental process of life. During the evolution of
multicellular organisms, the actively controlled demise of cells has been recruited to fulfil a …

The ability to make secondary cell walls was a pivotal step for vascular plants in their
conquest of dry land. Here, we review recent molecular and genetic studies that reveal that a …
