An ancient plant symbiotic fungus with distinct features identified through advanced fluorescence and Raman imaging

The paper identifies an ancient endomycorrhizal fungus in a 407-million-year-old plant using advanced fluorescence and Raman imaging techniques.

A receptor kinase complex refines cambium activity in Arabidopsis

This study identifies PXY-ER complexes as essential for cambium activity in Arabidopsis, showing that PXY signaling depends on ER signaling and explains ER function in the cambium.

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.

A multiscale analysis of early flower development in Arabidopsis provides an integrated view of molecular regulation and growth control

The paper creates a 4-D atlas of early Arabidopsis flower development and uses computational models to identify gene regulatory hypotheses and growth mechanisms.
