Wood, a type of xylem tissue, originates from cell proliferation of the vascular cambium.
Xylem is produced inside, and phloem outside, of the cambium 1. Morphogenesis in plants …

Summary N6‐adenosine methylation (m6A) of mRNA is an essential process in most
eukaryotes, but its role and the status of factors accompanying this modification are still …

Environmental cues profoundly modulate cell proliferation and cell elongation to inform and
direct plant growth and development. External phosphate (Pi) limitation inhibits primary root …

Building expression constructs for transgenesis is one of the fundamental day-to-day tasks
in modern biology. Traditionally it is based on a multitude of type II restriction endonucleases …

Abstract Jasmonoyl-isoleucine (JA-Ile) is a plant hormone that regulates a broad array of

Gynogenesis is an asexual mode of reproduction common to animals and plants, in which
stimuli from the sperm cell trigger the development of the unfertilized egg cell into a haploid …

Antagonism between the defense hormones salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) plays
a central role in the modulation of the plant immune signaling network, but the molecular …
