Mechanotransduction in Lateral Root Initiation: A Model Integrating Growth Mechanics and Auxin Signaling

The paper proposes a model integrating growth mechanics and auxin signaling to explain lateral root initiation by showing how pericycle turgor and endodermal resistance influence auxin flow and root development.

GreenGate 2.0: backwards compatible addons for assembly of complex transcriptional units and their stacking with GreenGate

GreenGate 2.0 improves modular cloning by increasing module capacity, streamlining entry clone generation, and enabling efficient stacking of transcriptional units for complex genetic constructs.

TOR acts as metabolic gatekeeper for auxin-dependent lateral root initiation in Arabidopsis thaliana

The paper shows that TOR kinase regulates auxin-dependent lateral root initiation in Arabidopsis by modulating translation of key auxin targets and integrating metabolic signals.

Progressive maturation of the root apical meristem in Arabidopsis thaliana lateral roots

The paper studies the progressive maturation of the root apical meristem in Arabidopsis thaliana lateral roots, showing that the stem cell niche develops gradually after the establishment of two diverging growth axes.

PLETHORA-WOX5 interaction and subnuclear localisation control Arabidopsis root stem cell maintenance

The paper investigates the interaction between PLETHORA and WOX5 transcription factors and their role in regulating Arabidopsis root stem cell maintenance through subnuclear localization.

Microtubule-based perception of mechanical conflicts controls plant organ morphogenesis

The paper shows that microtubule asymmetry in Arabidopsis thaliana endodermis is required for lateral root formation and morphogenesis.

Integration of Cell Growth and Asymmetric Division During Lateral Root Initiation In Arabidopsis thaliana

The paper analyzes the geometric features of cell divisions during lateral root initiation in Arabidopsis thaliana, showing asymmetric periclinal divisions and volume integration during growth.
