The paper develops a 4D imaging method to track cell divisions in Arabidopsis root meristems over a week, revealing a gradient of division rates near the stem cell niche.

The paper profiles temporal small RNA expression in maize under drought stress and identifies snoRNAs as potential regulators of drought responses.

This study shows that over-expression of ZmCCT10 in maize delays reproductive development and alters plant architecture and flowering traits.

This study identifies SOL1 and SOL2 as regulators of fate transitions and cell divisions in the Arabidopsis stomatal lineage, showing their role in cell cycle-dependent regulation and interaction with TSO1.

The paper develops a low-input mRNA-seq method to profile Arabidopsis embryos across developmental stages, revealing unique transcriptomes and four distinct transcriptional phases.

The paper identifies miRNAs and their targets involved in soybean cytoplasmic male sterility by analyzing small RNA and degradome libraries from CMS and restorer lines.

This study uses CRISPR/Cas9 to mutate FaTM6 in octoploid strawberry, showing its role in petal and anther development.

The paper investigates miRNA biogenesis modes in plants, showing that processing efficiency and precision vary with structural determinants and that DCL1 primarily uses a predominant structural region in wild-type plants.

The paper analyzes transcriptome changes in four Arabidopsis thaliana Mediator tail mutants to identify their unique and overlapping roles in gene regulation.

The paper identifies SHORTROOT and CIF2 as sufficient to induce and stabilize an endodermis-like state in Arabidopsis root sub-epidermal cells through non-cell-autonomous signaling.

This study uses deep phylogenomics to trace the origin and evolution of nuclear auxin response proteins across land plants, revealing key evolutionary steps and non-canonical roles.

This study identifies POWERDRESS as a key factor for thermomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis by linking histone deacetylation to temperature-induced gene regulation.

The paper shows that in Chlamydomonas, miRNAs mainly destabilize mRNAs, with target sites in coding regions, differing from metazoan systems.

The paper shows that cell type boundaries in plant leaves regulate development by coordinating gene expression and auxin response.

This study shows that SUPERMAN prevents stamen formation and promotes stem cell termination in the fourth whorl of the Arabidopsis flower, revealing that extra stamens arise from fate change in whorl 4 cells.

The paper analyzes gene synteny networks across plant genomes to uncover ancient duplications and lineage-specific transpositions in the MADS-box gene family.

The paper shows that small RNAs in apomictic dandelion lineages reflect drought stress and salicylic acid treatment from two generations ago, indicating transgenerational epigenetic effects.

The paper constructs a Boolean network to model cambium activity in trees, revealing hormonal interactions and molecular diversity in stem cell niches.

The paper clones and characterizes ZmbHLH16, a maize bHLH transcription factor related to OsTIP2, showing its expression pattern, polymorphism, and interaction with ZmbHLH51.
