A drought stress-induced MYB transcription factor regulates pavement cell shape in leaves of European aspen (Populus tremula)

This study identifies a drought stress-induced MYB transcription factor, MYB305a, that regulates pavement cell shape in European aspen and links cell shape complexity to climatic variables.

Mechanical coordination of counter-gradient growth maintains organ curvature in the apical hook

The paper shows that counter-gradient growth and cuticle integrity maintain apical hook curvature in plants through mechanical and biochemical coordination.
