Plant meristems represent specialised tissues housing pluripotent stem cells that underpin continuous growth and organ formation. The intricate regulation of these stem cells is mediated by a complex ...

A team of researchers has found a mechanism in thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana) which enables plants to provide protection against salt stress for their sensitive stem cells in the meristem at the ...

Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq) were combined to analyse the chromatin state of lateral organ ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University plant scientists have identified a protein that plays a previously unknown role in controlling cell differentiation and determining gender in vascular plants, ...

Mutations drive evolution, but they can also be risky. New research led by plant biologists at the University of California, ...

How do cells measure themselves? Now we have an answer to this long-standing biological question. Ever since scientists discovered cells under the microscope more than 350 years ago, they have noted ...
