TOTEM: A web TOol for Tissue-EnrichMent analysis on gene lists

TOTEM calculates tissue-specific gene enrichment from user gene lists using single-cell expression atlases, enabling analysis of gene function in specific tissues.

Restriction of intercellular communication is required for organ regeneration

The paper shows that LBD genes restrict intercellular communication to enable root regeneration in plants.

Mapping of the Classical Mutation rosette Highlights a Role for Calcium in Wound-induced Rooting

This study identifies the tomato mutation rosette (ro) as a regulator of auxin transport and calcium homeostasis, showing that calcium inhibits wound-induced root formation in ro mutants.

Auxin requirements for a meristematic state in roots depend on a dual brassinosteroid function

This study shows that brassinosteroids (BR) have a dual role in regulating auxin to maintain root meristem function, with BR promoting auxin biosynthesis while repressing its transcriptional output.

A conserved superlocus regulates above- and belowground root initiation

The paper identifies a conserved superlocus of LBD genes that regulates both shoot-borne and lateral root formation in plants.

Collaboration of multiple pathways in making a compound leaf

The paper investigates how multiple genetic factors interact to control compound leaf development in tomato, revealing their parallel roles in promoting leaflet formation.

A dynamic pattern of local auxin sources is required for root regeneration

This study shows that local auxin sources are essential for root regeneration after stem cell niche removal, and their activation depends on regeneration competence factors.

Deep conservation of response element variants regulating plant hormonal responses

The paper identifies conserved response element variants in plant hormone response genes and shows they regulate transcriptional response profiles in Arabidopsis and tomato.
