Developmental and environmental signaling networks often converge during plant growth in
response to changing conditions. Stress-induced hormones, such as jasmonates (JAs), can …

Hemp, Cannabis sativa L., is a sustainable multipurpose fiber crop with high nutrient and
water use efficiency and with biomass of excellent quality for textile fibers and construction …

Insular woodiness (IW)—the evolutionary transition from herbaceousness toward woodiness
on islands—is one of the most iconic features of island floras. Since pioneering work by …

Plants are the primary producers of biomass on earth. As an almost stereotypic feature,
higher plants generate continuously growing bodies mediated by the activity of different …

During secondary growth in most eudicots and gymnosperms, the periderm replaces the
epidermis as the frontier tissue protecting the vasculature from biotic and abiotic stresses …

Vascular tissue, comprising xylem and phloem, is responsible for the transport of water and
nutrients throughout the plant body. Such tissue is continually produced from stable …

Wood production is dependent on the activity of the vascular cambium, which develops from
the fascicular and interfascicular cambia. However, little is known about the mechanisms …

Woody perennial angiosperms (ie, hardwood trees) are polyphyletic in origin and occur in
most angiosperm orders. Despite their independent origins, hardwoods have shared …

Virulence, the effect of pathogen infection on progeny production, is a major determinant of
host and pathogen fitness as it affects host fecundity and pathogen transmission. In plant …

Although the biochemical pathway of chlorophyll (Chl) degradation has been largely
elucidated, how Chl is rapidly yet coordinately degraded during leaf senescence remains …
