Photosynthesis-derived carbon gates cell cycle activation to enable hormone-autonomous shoot regeneration

This study establishes a hormone-autonomous shoot regeneration assay in Arabidopsis and identifies photosynthesis-derived carbon as a key regulator of regeneration.

Functional diversification of ERF transcription factors in land plants

This study investigates the functional diversification of ERF transcription factors across land plants using liverwort and Arabidopsis, revealing conserved and lineage-specific roles in development and stress responses.

Molecular characterization of capulet2 reveals the importance of ANAPHASE PROMOTING COMPLEX 6 maternal expression in endosperm development

The paper investigates the gametophyte maternal effect mutant capulet2, showing APC6 is a maternally expressed imprinted gene critical for endosperm development.

Prolonged cold exposure enhances regeneration potential in Arabidopsis

This study shows that prolonged cold exposure enhances regeneration potential in Arabidopsis by activating specific transcription factors and histone acetylation mechanisms.

Revising the genetic and epigenetic architecture of in vitro regeneration capacity in natural Arabidopsis thaliana populations

The paper analyzes genetic and epigenetic variation in Arabidopsis thaliana to identify key modifiers of in vitro regeneration capacity.

Wounding activates the HSFA1 transcription factors to promote cellular reprogramming in Arabidopsis

This study shows HSFA1 transcription factors are crucial for wound-induced cellular reprogramming in Arabidopsis, promoting callus formation and shoot regeneration.

WIND1 controls cell fate transition through histone acetylation and deacetylation during somatic embryogenesis

This study identifies WIND1 as a bifunctional chromatin regulator that coordinates transcriptional reprogramming during somatic embryogenesis by mediating both histone deacetylation and acetylation.

Two antagonistic gene regulatory networks drive Arabidopsis root hair growth at low temperature

This paper identifies two opposing gene regulatory networks that control root hair growth in Arabidopsis at low temperature, revealing their role in integrating environmental and internal signals.
