HtDCR-like1 regulates the development of structurally coloured cuticle by modulating cuticle chemistry and mechanical properties in Hibiscus trionum

This study shows that HtDCR-like1 regulates cuticle buckling in Hibiscus trionum by altering cuticle chemistry and mechanical properties, leading to impaired structural color formation.

Flowering behaviour in Arabis alpina ensures the maintenance of a perennating dormant bud bank

This study shows that floral development during vernalization in Arabis alpina shapes the dormant bud zone by promoting synchronized growth and auxin levels after warming, while apical dominance and temperature regulate dormancy.
