Root systems can display variable architectures that contribute to survival strategies of
plants. The model plant Arabidopsis thaliana possesses a tap root system, in which the …

Plants are fascinating and complex organisms. A comprehensive understanding of the
organization, function and evolution of plant genes is essential to disentangle important …

In eukaryotes, three-dimensional genome organization is critical for transcriptional
regulation of gene expression. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can modulate chromatin …

Plants adapt to heterogeneous soil conditions by altering their root architecture. For
example, roots branch when in contact with water by using the hydropatterning response …

The phytohormone auxin plays crucial roles in nearly every aspect of plant growth and
development. The auxin response factor (ARF) transcription factor family regulates auxin …

The establishment of beneficial interactions with microbes has helped plants to modulate
root branching plasticity in response to environmental cues. However, how the plant …

Root architecture is a major determinant of plant fitness and is under constant modification in
response to favorable and unfavorable environmental stimuli. Beyond impacts on the …

The methyltransferase complex (m6A writer), which catalyzes the deposition of N 6-
methyladenosine (m6A) in mRNAs, is highly conserved across most eukaryotic organisms …

Lateral roots (LRs) are crucial for increasing the surface area of root systems to explore
heterogeneous soil environments. Major advances have recently been made in the model …

Genotyping‐by‐sequencing has enabled approaches for genomic selection to improve
yield, stress resistance and nutritional value. More and more resource studies are emerging …
