This study shows HY5 transport from shoot to root mediates root developmental changes in response to neighbor shade.

The paper identifies how local and distal signals regulate cell-type-specific leaf responses to Far-Red light, revealing distinct transcriptional programs for differential and unidirectional growth.

The Lettuce Expression Browser provides a high-resolution gene expression atlas for cultivated and wild lettuce, enabling exploration of gene activity across development and stress conditions.

PlantCV v4 improves usability and functionality for plant phenotyping by adding new image types and tutorials for non-coding researchers.

This study investigates how tomato and other dicot plants respond to low red:far-red light by analyzing pith cell changes and gene expression patterns, revealing conserved and species-specific mechanisms.

The paper discusses the importance of robustness in scientific research, using split-root assays in Arabidopsis thaliana to highlight challenges in replicability and provide recommendations for improving experimental protocols.

This study shows GA and BR are necessary for tomato stem elongation under low R:FR light, with IAA enhancing GA's effect.
