Growing upwards in the young seedling is controlled by two cooperative mechanical mechanisms: cellulose orientation in inner tissues and differential elasticity in epidermal cells.

Combining high-resolution imaging with automated image segmentation and supervised machine learning achieves accurate cellular feature extraction and automated cell type recognition in a large-scale developmental process.

The nuclear pathway for auxin perception is responsible for the rapid auxin-induced cell wall acidification and growth of aerial organs of plants.

The use of network science to quantify the properties of global cellular organization in the plant hypocotyl identifies higher-order properties and plasticity in epidermal cell patterning.

Signals from major hormones and the environment are integrated in the Arabidopsis hypocotyl to control gene expression and plant stem elongation.

A conserved, circadian-regulated protein alters light perception in plants to regulate daily growth in response to changing photoperiod.

A phosphorylation dependent translocation of PIF7 and involvement of 14-3-3 proteins reveal novel regulation mechanisms in shade signal transduction.

Two protein kinases are required to activate auxin efflux transporters from plants.

Single cell analysis reveals how period differences between cells and cell-to-cell coupling generates the spatial structure of the plant circadian clock.

In lateral roots, cells employ a novel pathway to cell edges to control directional growth, which acts independently of the leading paradigm of oriented deposition of cellulose microfibrils at faces.
