Shoot meristems are maintained by pluripotent stem cells that are controlled by CLAVATA-
WUSCHEL feedback signaling. This pathway, which coordinates stem cell proliferation with …

Covering: Up to 2019 Phenolic cross-links and phenolic inter-unit linkages result from the
oxidative coupling of two hydroxycinnamates or two molecules of tyrosine. Free dimers of …

Recent research, mostly in Arabidopsis thaliana, has led to the identification and
characterization of the glycosyltransferases responsible for the biosynthesis of two of the …

A fascinating feature of plant growth and development is that plants initiate organs
continually throughout their lifespan. The ability to do this relies on specialized groups of …

The understanding of plant organ-size determination represents an important challenge,
especially because of the significant role of plants as food and renewable energy sources …

During the past decade, a flurry of research focusing on the role of peptides as short-and
long-distance signaling molecules in plant cell communication has been undertaken. Here …

The extensin (EXT) network is elaborated by the covalent intermolecular crosslinking of EXT
glycoprotein monomers, and its proper assembly is important for numerous aspects of basic …

The carbohydrate-rich cell walls of land plants and algae have been the focus of much
interest given the value of cell wall-based products to our current and future economies …
