In the past decade tremendous advances have been made in understanding the
biosynthesis, perception, and signaling pathways of the plant hormone cytokinin. It also …

Over the past three decades, several hundred genes with important regulatory functions
during reproductive development in angiosperms have been identified. While we do not yet …

Glandular secretory trichomes (GSTs) can secrete and store a variety of specific metabolites.
By increasing GST density, valuable metabolites can be enhanced in terms of productivity …

Flowers are composed of organs whose identity is defined by the combinatorial activity of
transcription factors (TFs). The interactions between MADS-box TFs and protein complex …

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 …

Most of the studied MADS box members are linked to flowering and fruit traits. However,
higher volumes of studies on type II of the two types so far suggest that the florigenic effect of …

During seed development, carbon is reallocated from maternal tissues to support
germination and subsequent growth. As this pool of resources is depleted post-germination …

Symmetry establishment is a critical process in the development of multicellular organs and
requires careful coordination of polarity axes while cells actively divide within tissues …

Plant trichomes are outgrowths developed from an epidermal pavement cells of leaves and
other organs. Trichomes (also called 'hairs') play well-recognized roles in defense against …

Life has always found a way to preserve itself. One strategy that has been developed for this
purpose is sexual reproduction. In land plants, the gynoecium is considered to be at the top …
