The colonization of land by plants shaped the terrestrial biosphere, the geosphere and
global climates. The nature of morphological and molecular innovation driving land plant …

The spermatophyte root system is composed of a primary root that develops from an
embryonically formed root meristem, and of different post-embryonic root types: lateral and …

Lateral roots (LRs) are derived from a parental root and contribute to water and nutrient
uptake from the soil. Auxin/indole-3-acetic acid protein (AUX/IAA; IAA) and auxin response …

LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES DOMAIN (LBD) proteins defined by a conserved
LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES (LOB) domain are key regulators of plant organ …

Lateral organ boundaries (LOB) domain (LBD) genes, a gene family encoding plant-specific
transcription factors, play important roles in plant growth and development. At present …

Crown roots are the main components of root systems in cereals. Elucidating the
mechanisms of crown root formation is instrumental for improving nutrient absorption, stress …

The root architecture of higher plants is amazingly diverse. In this review, we compare the
lateral root developmental programme in cereals and Arabidopsis thaliana. In cereals, cells …

Plant roots and root systems are indispensable for water and nutrient foraging, and are a
major evolutionary achievement for plants to cope with dry land conditions. The ability of …

The architecture of trees greatly impacts the productivity of orchards and forestry plantations.
Amassing greater knowledge on the molecular genetics that underlie tree form can benefit …

ABSTRACT The LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES DOMAIN (LBD) protein, named for its
LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES (LOB) domain, is a member of a class of specific …
