This study shows that gene expression patterns in flowering plants evolve rapidly, with divergence rates exceeding those in mammals, and highlights differences in conservation across organs.

This paper develops a mathematical model of bud-bud competition in Arabidopsis, showing that BRC1 modulates auxin efflux to influence bud competitiveness.

This study identifies a core strigolactone signaling pathway in adult shoots, showing that D14 and SCFMAX2 regulate shoot development through SMXL6 degradation and downstream targets like BRC1 and PIN1.
