Plants maintain the ability to form lateral appendages throughout their life cycle and form
leaves as the principal lateral appendages of the stem. Leaves initiate at the peripheral zone …

High temperature and high humidity (HTHH) conditions increase plant susceptibility to a
variety of diseases, including bacterial wilt in solanaceous plants. Some solanaceous plant …

To detect the presence of neighboring vegetation, shade-avoiding plants have evolved the
ability to perceive and integrate multiple signals. Among them, changes in light quality and …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs that play important roles in plant
development and abiotic stresses. To date, studies have mainly focused on the roles of …

The growth regulator auxin is involved in all key developmental processes in plants. A
complex network of a multiplicity of potential biosynthetic pathways as well as transport …

Heteroblasty refers to a phenomenon that a plant produces morphologically or functionally
different lateral organs in an age‐dependent manner. In the model plant Arabidopsis …

The differentiation of a leaf–from its inception as a semicircular bulge on the surface of the
shoot apical meristem into a flattened structure with specialized upper and lower surfaces–is …

Plants are plastic organisms that optimize growth in response to a changing environment.
This adaptive capability is regulated by external cues, including light, which provides vital …

Plants, as sessile organisms, deploy transcriptional dynamics for adapting to extreme growth
conditions such as cold stress. Emerging evidence suggests that chromatin architecture …

In angiosperms, KANADI transcription factors have roles in the sporophyte generation
regulating tissue polarity, organogenesis and shade avoidance responses, but are not …
