Shoot architecture is determined by the organization and activities of apical, axillary,
intercalary, secondary, and inflorescence meristems and by the subsequent development of …

Cell membranes are the initial site of stimulus perception from environment and
phospholipids are the basic and important components of cell membranes. Phospholipases …

Plants are sessile organisms rooted in one place. The soil resources that plants require are
often distributed in a highly heterogeneous pattern. To aid foraging, plants have evolved …

Tiller angle in cereals is a key shoot architecture trait that strongly influences grain yield.
Studies in rice (Oryza sativa) have implicated shoot gravitropism in the regulation of tiller …

Rice tiller angle is a key agronomic trait that contributes to ideal plant architecture and grain
production. LAZY1 (LA1) was previously shown to control tiller angle via affecting shoot …

Root gravitropic bending represents a fundamental aspect of terrestrial plant physiology.
Gravity is perceived by sedimentation of starch-rich plastids (statoliths) to the bottom of the …

Tiller angle is a key factor determining rice plant architecture, planting density, light
interception, photosynthetic efficiency, disease resistance and grain yield. However, the …

The detection of gravity plays a fundamental role during the growth and evolution of plants.
Although progress has been made in our understanding of the molecular, cellular and …

Plants have adapted to different environmental niches by fine‐tuning the developmental
factors working together to regulate traits. Variations in the developmental factors result in a …

Growing plant stems and shoots exhibit a variety of shapes that embody growth in response
to various stimuli. Building on experimental observations, we provide a quantitative …
