The recurring application of computational modelling combined with wet lab experiments identify and predict central regulatory parameters and factors for early cell physiological reactions linked to differential brassinosteroid-modified elongation growth in the root tip of Arabidopsis thaliana.
A genome-wide view of the gene regulatory network governed by WRKY33 has identified key targets that negatively regulate ABA biosynthesis to provide immunity against infection by a necrotrophic fungus.
The system that controls gene expression by the plant signaling molecule auxin has deep evolutionary roots, and stepwise increases in system complexity shaped the highly diverse auxin response in land plants.

Auxin binding to the ETTIN transcription factor disrupts the interaction between ETT and a TPL/TPR co-repressor and subsequently affects chromatin dynamics to ensure proper gynoecium development.
Benoît Landrein, Annamaria Kiss ... Olivier Hamant
Mechanical stress promotes the expression of the homeobox gene and meristem master regulator STM, synergistically and independently from auxin depletion.

A molecular investigation on the role of the peptide ligand inflorescence deficient in abscission (IDA) in regulating immunity and development during cell separation in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Carlos S Galvan-Ampudia, Guillaume Cerutti ... Teva Vernoux
Rhythmic centrifugal waves of auxin traveling through the tissue provides high definition positional information to cells that is not only spatial but also temporal.
