Background: Halophytes possess efficient salt-tolerance mechanisms and can complete
their life cycles in naturally saline soils with NaCl contents exceeding 200 mM. While a …

Water scarcity, water pollution, and water-related waste threaten humanity globally, largely
due to the limited supply of freshwater on the planet, the unbalanced distribution of water …

Flowers are the most complex structures of plants. Studies of Arabidopsis thaliana, which
has typical eudicot flowers, have been fundamental in advancing the structural and …

Plant growth regulators (PGRs) enhance plants regeneration ability to form various organs
and tissues by determining embryonic fate in vivo and boosting regeneration efficiency in …

Because plants do not possess a defined germline, deleterious somatic mutations can be
passed to gametes, and a large number of cell divisions separating zygote from gamete …

Somatic mutations are common in plants, and they may accumulate and be passed on to
gametes. The determinants of somatic mutation accumulation include the intraorganismal …

Flower production and crop yields are highly influenced by the architectures of
inflorescences. In the compound inflorescences of tomato and related nightshades …

In monocarpic plants, all reproductive meristem activity arrests and flower production ceases
after the production of a certain number of fruits. This proliferative arrest (PA) is an …

Morphogenesis in living organisms relies on the integration of both biochemical and
mechanical signals. During the last decade, attention has been mainly focused on the role of …

The establishment of the species-specific floral organ body plan involves many coordinated
spatiotemporal processes, which include the perception of positional information that …
