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 …

Secondary phloem and xylem tissues are produced through the activity of vascular
cambium, the cylindrical secondary meristem which arises among the primary plant tissues …

High temperature and high humidity (HTHH) conditions increase plant susceptibility to a
variety of diseases, including bacterial wilt in solanaceous plants. Some solanaceous plant …

Developmental boundaries play an important role in coordinating the growth and patterning
of lateral organs. In plants, specification of dorsiventrality is critical to leaf morphogenesis …

Summary In Arabidopsis, AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR 3 (ARF 3) belongs to the auxin
response factor (ARF) family that regulates the expression of auxin‐responsive genes. ARF …

In plants the dorsoventral boundary of leaves defines an axis of symmetry through the centre
of the organ separating the top (dorsal) and bottom (ventral) tissues. Although the …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs that play important roles in plant
development and abiotic stresses. To date, studies have mainly focused on the roles of …

The primary function of leaves is to provide an interface between plants and their
environment for gas exchange, light exposure and thermoregulation. Leaves have, therefore …

Small RNAs have emerged as a new class of mobile signals. Here, we investigate their
mechanism of action and show that mobile small RNAs generate sharply defined domains of …

Plant vascular tissues, xylem and phloem, differentiate in distinct patterns from procambial
cells as an integral transport system for water, sugars, and signaling molecules …
