The paper shows transient cell states in plants encode positional information to direct asymmetric growth through gene regulatory networks and hormonal signaling.

The paper shows drought stress accelerates leaf maturation transcriptional responses in Arabidopsis, and demonstrates targeted upregulation of FERRIC REDUCTION OXIDASE 6 can increase leaf growth under stress.

This study shows that water deficiency inhibits GA biosynthesis and activates GA deactivation in tomato, leading to stomatal closure and reduced canopy growth to avoid drought.
