The regular arrangement of organs (phyllotaxis) in vegetative shoots and flowers is one of
the most stunning features of plants. Spiral patterns characterized by Fibonacci numbers …

The establishment and maintenance of pluripotent stem cells in the shoot apical meristem
(SAM) are key developmental processes in land plants including the most basal, bryophytes …

Rapid advances in DNA synthesis techniques have enabled the assembly and engineering
of viral and microbial genomes, presenting new opportunities for synthetic genomics in …

Phyllotaxis, the geometry of leaf arrangement around stems, determines plant architecture.
Molecular interactions coordinating the formation of phyllotactic patterns have mainly been …

Auxin, which is transported in the outermost cell layer, is one of the major players involved in
plant organ initiation and positioning at the shoot apical meristem (SAM). However, recent …

The mechanism of brain information processing unfolds within spatial and temporal domains
inherently linked to the concept of space–time symmetry. Biological evolution, beginning …

Development in multicellular organisms relies on cell proliferation and specialization. In
plants, both these processes critically depend on the spatial organization of cells within a …

The spiral arrangement (phyllotaxis) of leaves is a shared morphology in land plants, and
exhibits diversity constrained to the Fibonacci sequence. Phyllotaxis in vascular plants is …

Mosses are a cosmopolitan group of land plants, sister to vascular plants, with a high
potential for molecular and cell biological research. The species Physcomitrium patens has …

Phyllotactic diversity and developmental transitions between phyllotactic patterns are not
fully understood. The plants studied so far, such as Magnolia, Torreya or Abies, are not …
