The paper identifies and characterizes a cryptic START domain in HD-ZIPIII transcription factors, showing its role in subcellular localization, DNA binding, and ligand recognition.

This paper introduces the Euler Characteristic Transform (ECT) for classifying plant shapes and predicting leaf venation from blade geometry using deep learning.

The paper introduces a Python-based method using pseudo-landmarks and Procrustes analysis to compare leaf shapes across species and development, showing shape transitions and genetic correlations.

The paper investigates the formation of ectopic cambia in Japanese wisteria using anatomical, transcriptomic, and evolutionary analyses, finding conserved KNOX genes involved in atypical vascular development.

The paper identifies a mechanism by which paralogous HD-ZIPIII transcription factors generate distinct regulons through differential usage of shared binding sites, mediated by their START domains.
