One of the most remarkable examples of convergent evolution is the transition from C3 to C4
photosynthesis, an event that occurred on over 60 independent occasions. The evolution of …

Dynamic cell identities underlie flexible developmental programs. The stomatal lineage in
the Arabidopsis leaf epidermis features asynchronous and indeterminate divisions that can …

Early leaf growth is sustained by cell proliferation and subsequent cell expansion that
initiates at the leaf tip and proceeds in a basipetal direction. Using detailed kinematic and …

Zygnematophyceae are the algal sisters of land plants. Here we sequenced four genomes of
filamentous Zygnematophyceae, including chromosome-scale assemblies for three strains …

Systemic signaling and systemic acquired acclimation (SAA) are essential for plant survival
during episodes of environmental stress. Recent studies highlighted a key role for reactive …

In animal systems, master regulatory transcription factors (TFs) mediate stem cell
maintenance through a direct transcriptional repression of differentiation promoting TFs …

Plant cells are surrounded by a cell wall and do not migrate, which makes the regulation of
cell division orientation crucial for development. Regulatory mechanisms controlling cell …

When plants emerged from their aquatic origins to colonise land, they needed to avoid
desiccation while still enabling gas and water exchange with the environment. The solution …

Plants exhibit reduced root growth when exposed to low temperature; however, how low
temperature modulates root growth remains to be understood. Our study demonstrated that …
