Heavy metal pollution in soil is a global problem with serious impacts on human health and
ecological security. Phytoextraction in phytoremediation, in which plants uptake and …

Abscisic acid (ABA) regulates various aspects of plant physiology, including promoting seed
dormancy and adaptive responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. In addition, ABA plays an …

Higher plant function is contingent upon the complex three‐dimensional (3D) architecture of
plant tissues, yet severe light scattering renders deep, 3D tissue imaging very problematic …

Jasmonic acid (JA) or methyl jasmonate (MeJA) are master regulators of plant development
and stress response against pathogens and environmental fluctuations. Thus, JA is an …

Wood, a type of xylem tissue, originates from cell proliferation of the vascular cambium.
Xylem is produced inside, and phloem outside, of the cambium 1. Morphogenesis in plants …

To adapt to changing environments, plants have evolved elaborate regulatory mechanisms
balancing their growth with stress responses. It is currently unclear whether and how the …

Auxin plays essential roles in plant normal growth and development. The auxin signaling
pathway relies on the auxin gradient within tissues and cells, which is facilitated by both …

Vascular tissues in plants are crucial to provide physical support and to transport water,
sugars and hormones and other small signalling molecules throughout the plant. Recent …

Vascular cambium contains bifacial stem cells, which produce secondary xylem to one side
and secondary phloem to the other. However, how these fate decisions are regulated is …

Among all essential mineral elements, nitrogen (N) is required in the largest amounts and
thus is often a limiting factor for plant growth. N is taken up by plant roots in the form of water …
