Source-to-sink carbon (C) allocation driven by the sink strength, ie, the ability of a sink organ
to import C, plays a central role in tissue growth and biomass productivity. However …

Maturation imposes several changes in plants, which are particularly drastic in the case of
trees. In recalcitrant woody species, such as chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.), one of the …

Phase change refers to the process of maturation and transition from the juvenile to the adult
stage. In response to this shift, certain species like chestnut lose the ability to form …

The molecular mechanisms underlying de novo root organogenesis have been under
intense study for the last decades. As new tools and resources became available, a …

The conifer Taxodium hybrid 'Zhongshanshan'(T. hybrid 'Zhongshanshan') is characterized
by rapid growth, strong stress resistance, and high ornamental value and has significant …

The mechanisms underlying the de novo regeneration of adventitious roots are still poorly
