Many metabolic pathways and cellular processes occurring in most sub-cellular
compartments depend on the functioning of iron-sulfur (Fe-S) proteins, whose cofactors are …

Plants produce new organs throughout their life span. Leaves first initiate as rod‐like
structures protruding from the shoot apical meristem, while they need to pass through …

In plants, cell proliferation and polarized cell differentiation along the adaxial–abaxial axis in
the primordium is critical for leaf morphogenesis, while the temporal–spatial relationships …

In Arabidopsis thaliana, mutations in genes encoding ribosomal proteins (r‐proteins) perturb
various developmental processes. Whether these perturbations are caused by overall …

The regulation of organ size in higher organisms is a fundamental issue in developmental
biology. In flowering plants, a phenomenon called “compensation” has been observed …

Leaf primordia are born around meristem‐containing stem cells at shoot apices, grow along
three axes (proximal–distal, adaxial–abaxial, medial–lateral), and develop into flat …

Eukaryotic organisms have evolved a set of strategies to safeguard genome integrity, but the
underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we report that ASYMMETRIC …

The microRNA (miRNA) miR396 regulates GROWTH-REGULATING FACTORs (GRFs), a
plant specific family of transcription factors. Overexpression of miR396 causes a decrease in …

Leaves of flowering plants are diverse in shape. Part of this morphological diversity can be
attributed to differences in spatiotemporal regulation of polarity in the upper (adaxial) and …

Leaf adaxial–abaxial polarity refers to the two leaf faces, which have different types of cells
performing distinct biological functions. In 1951, Ian Sussex reported that when an incipient …
