The human retinoblastoma (RB 1) protein is a tumor suppressor that negatively regulates
cell cycle progression through its interaction with members of the E2F/DP family of …

Epigenetic mechanisms form the basis of cellular memory, developmental decisions, and
the cellular immune system that defends against transposons and viruses. Organs develop …

The cotton fibre serves as a valuable experimental system to study cell wall synthesis in
plants, but our understanding of the genetic regulation of this process during fibre …

The reiterative organogenesis that drives plant growth relies on the constant production of
new cells, which remain encased by interconnected cell walls. For these reasons, plant …

The morphology of plant fossils from the Rhynie chert has generated longstanding questions
about vascular plant shoot and leaf evolution, for instance, which morphologies were …

A fundamental question in biology is how morphogenesis integrates the multitude of
processes that act at different scales, ranging from the molecular control of gene expression …

Targeted protein degradation technology has evolved a brand-new therapeutic modality
from an innovative drug discovery perspective. Though the classical PROTACs has …

Fruit set is inhibited by adverse temperatures, with consequences on yield. We isolated a
tomato mutant producing fruits under non-permissive hot temperatures and identified the …

In higher plants, sexual and asexual reproduction through seeds (apomixis) have evolved
as alternative strategies. As apomixis leads to the formation of clonal offspring, its great …

Germline determination is essential for species survival and evolution in multicellular
organisms. In most flowering plants, formation of the female germline is initiated with …
