Genetic analyses reveal that the TIR1/AFB auxin receptors have broadly overlapping functions throughout plant development, but that the AFB1 receptor has a specialized role in a rapid auxin response.

An ancient and conserved genetic mechanism for cell differentiation is under distinct negative regulation in different lineages of land plants.

Puzzle-shape cells in the epidermis of many plants form due to a development constraint based on mechanical forces.

TOR kinase guides the transition of plant stem cells from the dormant embryonic state to the active adult state by integrating light and metabolic signals.

The hormonal circuitry controlling development in plants can be studied and re-programmed with hormone activated Cas9-based repressors.

Sugar levels in leaves act as a signal for plants to switch from their juvenile to their adult form by regulating the expression of two genes.

Identification of two arbuscular mycorrhiza-specific lipid biosynthesis mutants and fatty acid transfer experiments reveal that host plant lipids are transferred to symbiotic fungi and needed for their development.

The monitoring of ATP dynamics in living plants using fluorescent protein biosensor provides evidence for the complex relationship between cellular energy status and growth.

Leaf position, shape and orientation are pre-patterned by cell type boundaries in the shoot meristem.

HEC transcription factors control the timing of cell fate transitions in a dynamic stem cell system, allowing plants to adapt their developmental program to diverse environments.
