Plant development depends on the activity of a group of dividing cells called the meristem.
Extensive genetic analyses have identified the major regulators of the shoot apical meristem …

A key innovation in leaf evolution is the acquisition of a flat lamina with adaxial–abaxial
polarity, which optimizes the primary function of photosynthesis. The developmental …

Abstract KNOTTED1-LIKE HOMEOBOX (KNOX) genes are important regulators of meristem
function, and a complex network of transcription factors ensures tight control of their …

Regulation of secondary (woody) growth is of substantial economic and environmental
interest but is poorly understood. We identified and subsequently characterized an activation …

For identification of genes responsible for varietal differences in flowering time and leaf
morphological traits, we constructed a linkage map of Brassica rapa DNA markers including …

Key message Comprehensive yeast and protoplast two-hybrid analyses illustrated the
protein–protein interaction network of the TALE homeodomain protein family, KNOX and …

Abstract Potato Homeobox1 (POTH1) is a Knotted1-like transcription factor from the Three
Amino Acid Loop Extension (TALE) superfamily that is involved in numerous aspects of …

Current advances indicate that epigenetic mechanisms play important roles in the regulatory
networks involved in plant developmental responses to environmental conditions. Hence …

During their development, leaves progress through a highly controlled yet flexible
developmental program. Transcription factors from the CIN-TCP family affect leaf shape by …

The new variety Betula pendula 'Dalecarlica', selected from Betula pendula, shows high
ornamental value owing to its lobed leaf shape. In this study, to identify the genetic …
