Natural variation in salt-induced changes in root:shoot ratio reveals SR3G as a negative regulator of root suberization and salt resilience in Arabidopsis

Four-dimensional quantitative analysis of cell plate development using lattice light sheet microscopy identifies robust transition points between growth phases

This study uses lattice light sheet microscopy to analyze cell plate development in four dimensions, identifying phase transitions and the role of callose in cytokinesis.

Difference in Kernel Shape and Endocarp Anatomy Promote Dehiscence in Pistachio Endocarp

This study identifies anatomical and morphological traits in pistachio endocarp that contribute to shell dehiscence, showing that cell shape specialization and kernel width influence split rate.

NMR spectroscopy analysis reveals an altered metabolic homeostasis in Arabidopsis seedlings treated with a cytokinesis inhibitor

This study uses NMR spectroscopy to analyze metabolic changes in Arabidopsis seedlings treated with ES7, revealing tissue-specific metabolic alterations and disrupted homeostasis in primary metabolism.

Callose deposition is essential for the completion of cytokinesis in the unicellular alga Penium margaritaceum

This study identifies callose deposition as essential for cytokinesis in the unicellular alga Penium margaritaceum, showing conserved roles in cell division and wall assembly.

A Biophysical Model for Plant Cell Plate Development

This paper develops a biophysical model to understand the role of callose in plant cell plate development, showing that a spreading force is necessary for proper maturation.
