Here, we provide an update of our review on homeobox genes that we wrote together with
Walter Gehring in 1994. Since then, comprehensive surveys of homeobox genes have …

Many plants synchronize their life cycles in response to changing seasons and initiate
flowering under favourable environmental conditions to ensure reproductive success. To …

Osmotic stress imposed by drought and high salinity inhibits plant growth and crop yield.
However, our current knowledge on the mechanism by which plants sense osmotic stress is …

Defining specific protein interactions and spatially or temporally restricted local proteomes
improves our understanding of all cellular processes, but obtaining such data is challenging …

Transcription factors activate or repress target gene expression or switch between activation
and repression. In animals and yeast, Groucho/Tup1 corepressor proteins are recruited by …

Stem cells in plants and animals are maintained pluripotent by signals from adjacent niche
cells. In plants, WUSCHEL HOMEOBOX (WOX) transcription factors are central regulators of …

The JAZ (JASMONATE-ZIM DOMAIN) family proteins act as jasmonate (JA) co-receptors
and transcriptional repressors in JA signalling in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) …

The development and coordination of complex tissues in eukaryotes requires precise spatial
control of fate-specifying genes. Although investigations of such control have traditionally …

The shoot apical meristem of angiosperm plants generates leaf, stem and floral structures
throughout the plant's lifetime. To do this, the plant must maintain a population of stem cells …

Circadian clocks are ubiquitous molecular time-keeping mechanisms that coordinate
physiology and metabolism and provide an adaptive advantage to higher plants. The central …
