Plant vascular development is a complex process culminating in the generation of xylem
and phloem, the plant transporting conduits. Xylem and phloem arise from specialized stem …

Abstract Background and Aims Despite recent progress in elucidating the molecular basis of
secondary growth (cambial growth), the functional implications of this developmental …

The development of secondary vascular tissue enhances the transport capacity and
mechanical strength of plant bodies, while contributing a huge proportion of the world's …

How multiple growth programs coordinate during development is a fundamental question in
biology. During plant stem development, radial growth is continuously adjusted in response …

An empirical growth-response model (GRM) that can accurately predict leafy vegetable (eg,
kailan) shoot fresh weight, in terms of photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) and certain …

Investigating plant/root-soil interactions at different scales is crucial to advance the
understanding of soil structure formation in the rhizosphere. To better comprehend the …

In plants, secondary growth results in radial expansion of stems and roots, generating large
amounts of biomass in the form of wood. Using genome-wide association studies (GWAS) …

Pericycle cells possess proliferative activity long after leaving the root apical meristem.
Depending on the developmental stage and external stimuli, pericycle cell division leads to …

Secondary or lateral growth, is the biological process that confers girth to stems and roots in
plants, which is essential to structurally sustain organs, for water and nutrients transport and …
