Lateral organ boundaries (LOB) domain (LBD) genes, a gene family encoding plant-specific
transcription factors, play important roles in plant growth and development. At present …

ABSTRACT The LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES DOMAIN (LBD) protein, named for its
LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES (LOB) domain, is a member of a class of specific …

The root system is responsible for water and nutrients uptake from the soil, and therefore, its
extension is basic for an efficient acquisition. The maize root system is formed by different …

Seminal roots play an important role in acquisition of water and nutrients by maize
seedlings. Compared with its teosinte ancestor, maize underwent a change in seminal root …

Lateral organ boundaries domain (LBD) proteins belong to a particular class of transcription
factors of lateral organ boundary (LOB) specific domains that play essential roles in plant …

Main conclusion A comprehensive account of the LBD gene family of Gossypium was
provided in this work. Expression analysis and functional characterization revealed that LBD …

There is strong interest in deciphering the gene regulatory networks (GRNs) that govern
plant specialized metabolism to assist in plant breeding. Here, we investigated the GRN …

Introduction Drought stress is one of the most serious abiotic stresses leading to crop yield
reduction. Due to the wide range of planting areas, the production of maize is particularly …

The L ATERAL ORGAN B OUNDARIES D OMAIN (LBD) proteins, a transcription factor
family specific to the land plants, have been implicated in multiple biological processes …

Plant-specific lateral organ boundaries domain (LBD) proteins play important roles in plant
growth and development. Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is one new C4 model crop. However …
