Multi-Knock—a multi-targeted genome-scale CRISPR toolbox to overcome functional redundancy in plants
Plant genomes are characterized by large and complex gene families that often result in similar and partially overlap** functions. This genetic redundancy severely hampers current efforts to uncover novel ph...

What shoots can teach about theories of plant form
Plants generate a large variety of shoot forms with regular geometries. These forms emerge primarily from the activity of a stem cell niche at the shoot tip. Recent efforts have established a theoretical frame...

Open AccessQ&A: How does jasmonate signaling enable plants to adapt and survive?
Jasmonates (JAs) are a class of plant hormones that play essential roles in response to tissue wounding. They act on gene expression to slow down growth and to redirect metabolism towards producing defense mol...

Reporters for sensitive and quantitative measurement of auxin response
Two fluorescent reporters allow high-resolution visualization of auxin response; DR5v2 is more sensitive than existing auxin response reporters, and a ratiometric version of DII-Venus named R2D2 allows for acc...

Analysis of 3D gene expression patterns in plants using whole-mount RNA in situ hybridization
Rozier et al. provide a Protocol for whole-mount mRNA in situ hybridization in complex plant tissues. The method is fully compatible with colorimetric or fluorimetric signal detection, including the Tyramide Sign...

Signal integration by GSK3 kinases in the root
Signal integration is central to the regulation of patterning during plant development. During lateral root initiation, a signalling pathway controlled by the phloem-secreted TDIF peptide is found to activate ...

Organogenesis from stem cells in planta: multiple feedback loops integrating molecular and mechanical signals
In multicellular organisms, the coordination of cell behaviors largely relies on biochemical and biophysical signals. Understanding how such signals control development is often challenging, because their dist...
