Plant Organogenesis
Methods and Protocols
Article
Molecular biology aims to understand cellular responses and regulatory dynamics in complex biological systems. However, these studies remain challenging in non-model species due to poor functional annotation o...
Protocol
Proteins are crucial for controlling different cellular processes by perceiving and converting external environmental cues into cellular responses. Therefore, regulation of protein activities is pivotal for th...
Article
Plants respond to warm temperature by increased elongation growth of organs to enhance cooling capacity. Phytohormones, such as auxin and brassinosteroids, regulate this growth process. However, our view on th...
Article
PSV infection changed the abundance of host plant’s transcripts and proteins associated with various cellular compartments, including ribosomes, chloroplasts, mitochondria, the nucleus and cytosol, affecting p...
Article
Plants respond to mild warm temperature conditions by increased elongation growth of organs to enhance cooling capacity, in a process called thermomorphogenesis. To this date, the regulation of thermomorphogen...
Article
The target of rapamycin (TOR) kinase is a conserved regulatory hub that translates environmental and nutritional information into permissive or restrictive growth decisions. Despite the increased appreciation ...
Protocol
Plant health and development are directly depending on a plant’s ability to react to a constantly changing environment. Sensing of water and nutrition levels and of the biotic environment is vital for a plant,...
Protocol
The first signaling peptide discovered and purified was insulin in 1921. However, it was not until 1991 that the first peptide signal, systemin, was discovered in plants. Since the discovery of systemin, pepti...
Chapter
Auxin is one of the first phytohormones to be discovered in plants. It plays a key role in plant growth and development and in the evolution of land plants. The presence of auxin has been reported from microal...
Article
The phytohormone auxin is a key developmental signal in plants. So far, only auxin perception has been described to trigger the release of transcription factors termed AUXIN RESPONSE FACTORs (ARFs) from their ...
Article
The application of small molecules has played a crucial role in identifying novel components involved in plant signalling. Compared to classic genetic approaches, small molecule screens offer notable advantage...
Book
Article
The plant hormone auxin promotes the degradation of inhibitors of ARF transcription factors to control plant development, but the role of auxin in patterning has been unclear. The ARF protein MONOPTEROS is sho...

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 12, 177–188 (2011) On page 183 of this article there was a mistake in the sentence “These include the genes encoding the transcription factors PROTODERMAL FACTOR 2 (PDF2)1...
Article
Asymmetric cell division is essential in many organisms to generate cell diversity and tissue patterns and to maintain pools of stem cells. In plants and multi...
Article
To generate the various tissues and organs that build up the adult body, plants and animals require organized formative cell divisions and correct cell specification. In plants, these processes are controlled ...
Article
Lateral roots originate deep within the parental root from a small number of founder cells at the periphery of vascular tissues and must emerge through intervening layers of tissues. We describe how the hormon...
Article
Root branching happens through the formation of new meristems out of a limited number of pericycle cells inside the parent root. As opposed to shoot branching, the study of lateral root formation has been comp...
