    Pioneer Arabidopsis thaliana spans the succession gradient revealing a diverse root-associated microbiome

    Soil microbiomes are increasingly acknowledged to affect plant functioning. Research in molecular model species Arabidopsis thaliana has given detailed insights of such plant-microbiome interactions. However, the...

    Protocol

    From Stained Plant Tissues to Quantitative Cell Segmentation Analysis with MorphoGraphX

    Development and growth of plant organs is determined by a myriad of molecular processes that occur in each individual cell. As a direct consequence of these processes, cells alter in size and shape. They there...

    PLETHORA proteins as dose-dependent master regulators of Arabidopsis root development

    Polar auxin transport is a factor in almost all developmental processes in plants but there is still much to be learned about how it operates. In cells, directional auxin transport is controlled by the PIN pro...

    The PIN auxin efflux facilitator network controls growth and patterning in Arabidopsis roots

    Local accumulation of the plant growth regulator auxin mediates pattern formation in Arabidopsis roots and influences outgrowth and development of lateral root- and shoot-derived primordia. However, it has remain...

    Short-range control of cell differentiation in the Arabidopsis root meristem

    Meristems are distinctive regions of plants that have capacity for continuous growth. Their developmental activity generates the majority of plant organs1. It is currently unknown how cell division and cell diffe...

    Experimental and genetic analysis of root development in Arabidopsis thaliana

    The cellular organisation of the Arabidopsis thaliana root is remarkably regular. A fate map of the primary root and root meristem that predicts the developmental destinies of cells within the embryonic root prim...

    The Acquisition of Cell Fate in the Arabidopsis thaliana Root Meristem

    During plant embryogenesis an embryo with cotyledons, a shoot apical meristem, a hypocotyl and a root apical meristem, is formed. The primary root and shoot meristems initiate post-embryonic growth generating ...

    Root Anatomy and Development, the Basis for Nematode Parasitism

    Plant parasitic nematodes appear to rely on very specific interactions with root cells to establish a feeding site. To understand these interactions in detail, it is of advantage to achieve a basic understandi...

    Cell fate in the Arabidopsis root meristem determined by directional signalling

    POSTEMBRYONIC development in plants is achieved by apical meristems. Surgical studies and clonal analysis have revealed indirectly that cells in shoot meristems have no predictable destiny1–3 and that position is...

    Analysis of Root Development in Arabidopsis Thaliana

    Mature plants are the result of two formally separable developmental processes. Embryogenesis provides a mature embryo with axis, cotyledons, and the root and shoot apical meristem. The embryo has a structure ...
