Phytohormones participate in various processes over the course of a plant's lifecycle. In
addition to the five classical phytohormones (auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins, abscisic acid …

Plants maintain the ability to form lateral appendages throughout their life cycle and form
leaves as the principal lateral appendages of the stem. Leaves initiate at the peripheral zone …

Floret fertility is a key determinant of the number of grains per inflorescence in cereals.
During the evolution of wheat (Triticum sp.), floret fertility has increased, such that current …

Morphogenesis emerges from complex multiscale interactions between genetic and
mechanical processes. To understand these processes, the evolution of cell shape …

Wild animals and plants have developed a variety of adaptive traits driven by adaptive
evolution, an important strategy for species survival and persistence. Uncovering the …

Positional information is a central concept in developmental biology. In develo** organs,
positional information can be idealized as a local coordinate system that arises from …

Morphogenesis emerges from complex multiscale interactions between genetic and
mechanical processes. To understand these processes, the evolution of cell shape …

The shape and function of plant cells are often highly interdependent. The puzzle-shaped
cells that appear in the epidermis of many plants are a striking example of a complex cell …

Plant lateral organs are often elaborated through repetitive formation of developmental units,
which progress robustly in predetermined patterns along their axes. Leaflets in compound …

A key challenge in biology is to understand how the regional control of cell growth gives rise
to final organ forms. Plant leaves must coordinate growth along both the proximodistal and …
