N Ogita, Y Okushima, M Tokizawa… - The Plant …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
In mammalian cells, the transcription factor p53 plays a crucial role in transmitting DNA
damage signals to maintain genome integrity. However, in plants, orthologous genes for p53 …

The transcription factors, STOP1 and TCP20, are required for root system architecture alterations in response to nitrate deficiency

M Tokizawa, T Enomoto… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - National Acad Sciences
Nitrate distribution in soils is often heterogeneous. Plants have adapted to this by modifying
