Phospholipases (PLs) are lipid-hydrolyzing enzymes known to have diverse signaling roles
during plant abiotic and biotic stress responses. They catalyze lipid remodeling, which is …

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) fruits, which are eaten at an immature stage of development,
can vary extensively in morphological features such as size, shape, waxiness, spines, warts …

Investigating crop diversity through genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) on core
collections helps in deciphering the genetic determinants of complex quantitative traits …

Maize is a heavy consumer of fertilizer nitrogen (N) which not only results in the high cost of
cultivation but may also lead to environmental pollution. Therefore, there is a need to …

Tissue folding is a central building block of plant and animal morphogenesis. In
dicotyledonous plants, hypocotyl folds to form hooks after seedling germination that protects …

In multicellular organisms, sexual reproduction requires the separation of the germline from
the soma. In flowering plants, the female germline precursor differentiates as a single spore …

Cell and tissue polarization is fundamental for plant growth and morphogenesis. The polar,
cellular localization of Arabidopsis PIN‐FORMED (PIN) proteins is crucial for their function in …

Key message We identified a short fruit3 (sf3) mutant in cucumber. Map-based cloning
revealed that CsKTN1 gene encodes a katanin p60 subunit, which is associated with the …

The superior properties of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) has resulted in their broad utilization
worldwide, but also the risk of irreversible environment infestation. The plant cuticle and cell …

In plants, the first asymmetrical division of a zygote leads to the formation of two cells with
different developmental fates. The establishment of various patterns relies on spatial and …
