Flowering plants produce flowers and one of the most complex floral structures is the pistil or
the gynoecium. All the floral organs differentiate from the floral meristem. Various reviews …

A genetic continuity of living organisms relies on the germline which is a specialized cell
lineage producing gametes. Essential in the germline functioning is the protection of genetic …

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 …

Growth extent and direction determine cell and whole-organ architecture. How they are
spatio-temporally modulated to control size and shape is not well known. Here we tackled …

Cellular heterogeneity in growth and differentiation results in organ patterning. Single-cell
transcriptomics allows characterization of gene expression heterogeneity in develo** …

Organ morphogenesis depends on mechanical interactions between cells and tissues.
These interactions generate forces that can be sensed by cells and affect key cellular …

Stomata are controllable micropores formed between two adjacent guard cells (GCs) that
regulate gas flow across the plant surface. 1 Grasses, among the most successful organisms …

Multicellular organisms result from complex developmental processes largely orchestrated
through the quantitative spatiotemporal regulation of gene expression. Yet, obtaining …

The emergence of tissue form in multicellular organisms results from the complex interplay
between genetics and physics. In both plants and animals, cells must act in concert to …

Correct regulation of intercellular communication is a fundamental requirement for cell
differentiation. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the female germline differentiates from a single …
