This study shows CRK2 regulates plant development by modulating callose synthase activity, affecting symplastic transport and leading to starch accumulation and growth defects in Arabidopsis.

This study investigates the cell fate plasticity of xylem-pole-pericycle cells in Arabidopsis roots, showing how auxin and cytokinins regulate their ability to form lateral roots or contribute to cambium.

The paper shows that water availability in Arabidopsis and tomato determines whether wounded tissues regenerate as callus or de novo roots.

This study identifies a long-distance inhibitory system in parasitic plants that regulates haustoria numbers via cytokinin signaling.
