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 …

Potassium is an essential macronutrient that has been partly overshadowed in root science
by nitrogen and phosphorus. The current boom in potassium-related studies coincides with …

Although great progress has been achieved regarding wheat genetic transformation
technology in the past decade,–, genotype dependency, the most impactful factor in wheat …

Plants maintain populations of pluripotent stem cells in shoot apical meristems (SAMs),
which continuously produce new aboveground organs. We used single-cell RNA …

The emergence of apomixis—the transition from sexual to asexual reproduction—is a
prominent feature of modern citrus. Here we de novo sequenced and comprehensively …

Hair-like structures are shared by most living organisms. The hairs on plant surfaces,
commonly referred to as trichomes, form diverse types to sense and protect against various …

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 …

De novo organogenesis, which gives rise to adventitious roots and shoots, is a type of plant
regeneration for survival after wounding. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), two main cell …

Plant stem cells in the shoot apical meristem (SAM) and root apical meristem are necessary
for postembryonic development of aboveground tissues and roots, respectively, while …

Multicellular organisms possess pluripotent stem cells to form new organs, replenish the
daily loss of cells, or regenerate organs after injury. Stem cells are maintained in specific …
