In order to optimally establish their root systems, plants are endowed with several
mechanisms to use at distinct steps during their development. In this review, we zoom in on …

In addition to its role in water and nutrient uptake, the root system is fundamentally important
because it anchors a plant to its substrate. Although a wide variety of root systems exist …

Dynamic cell identities underlie flexible developmental programs. The stomatal lineage in
the Arabidopsis leaf epidermis features asynchronous and indeterminate divisions that can …

Plants are sessile and have to cope with environmentally induced damage through
modification of growth and defense pathways. How tissue regeneration is triggered in such …

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 …

Almost two billion years of evolution have generated a vast and amazing variety of
eukaryotic life with approximately 8.7 million extant species. Growth and reproduction of all …

Agrobacterium rhizogenes (or Rhizobium rhizogenes) is able to transform plant genomes
and induce the production of hairy roots. We describe the use of A. rhizogenes in tomato …

The endodermal tissue layer is found in the roots of vascular plants and functions as a
semipermeable barrier, regulating the transport of solutes from the soil into the vascular …

Developmental and environmental signals converge on cell cycle machinery to achieve
proper and flexible organogenesis under changing environments. Studies on the plant cell …

Plant environmental responses involve dynamic changes in growth and signaling, yet little is
understood as to how progress through these events is regulated. Here, we explored the …
