Cell division in plants is controlled by the activity of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)
complexes. Although this basic mechanism is conserved with all other eukaryotes, plants …

Experimental evidence on the role of the cell cycle in plant growth regulation does not
exclusively fit the cellular (division drives growth) or the organismal perspective (division …

Extreme weather conditions associated with climate change affect many aspects of plant
and animal life, including the response to infectious diseases. Production of salicylic acid …

Cytokinins are plant hormones that may play essential and crucial roles in various aspects of
plant growth and development. Although the functional significance of exogenous cytokinins …

Multilocular silique is a desirable agricultural trait with great potential for the development of
high‐yield varieties of Brassica. To date, no spontaneous or induced multilocular mutants …

Key message Genomic editing with CRISPR/Cas9 system can simultaneously modify
multiple copies of the BnaFAD2 gene to develop novel variations in fatty acids profiles in …

Yellow‐seed is widely accepted as a good‐quality trait in Brassica crops. Previous studies
have shown that the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway is essential for the development of seed …

Although individual genomic structural variants (SVs) are known to influence gene
expression and trait variation, the extent and scale of SV impact across a species remain …

Abstract Background The Wuschel related homeobox (WOX) family proteins are key
regulators implicated in the determination of cell fate in plants by preventing cell …

Background Endoreduplication is the major source of endopolyploidy in higher plants. The
process of endoreduplication results from the ability of cells to modify their classical cell …
