Competing differentiation gradients coordinate fruit morphogenesis

The paper shows that two competing differentiation gradients along orthogonal axes coordinate gynoecium morphogenesis in Arabidopsis thaliana.

A quorum of mechano-sensing fungal consortia

This study identifies a quorum mechano-sensing mechanism in S. cerevisiae that regulates gene expression through FLO11 and SLN1 interactions, challenging traditional quorum sensing models.

Stem cell regulators control a G1 duration gradient in the plant root meristem

The paper shows that stem cell regulators create a G1 duration gradient in the plant root meristem, with mutants disrupting this gradient.

A coupled mechano-biochemical framework for root meristem morphogenesis

The paper develops a computational model to explain root meristem morphogenesis by integrating tissue mechanics, auxin transport, and cell polarity.

Modulation of root growth by nutrient-defined fine-tuning of polar auxin transport

The paper investigates how nitrogen availability modulates root growth by fine-tuning polar auxin transport through post-translational modifications of PIN2 and presents a computational model to simulate these processes.

PIN-LIKES coordinate brassinosteroid signalling with nuclear auxin input in Arabidopsis thaliana

The paper identifies a crosstalk mechanism between brassinosteroid and auxin signaling in Arabidopsis thaliana, showing BR signaling regulates nuclear auxin levels via PILS protein dynamics.

Cytokinin functions as an asymmetric and anti-gravitropic signal in lateral roots

This study shows cytokinin signaling in lateral roots acts as an anti-gravitropic signal, counteracting auxin's effect to promote radial root expansion in Arabidopsis.
