Developmental biology of wood formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The wood-forming vascular cambium is responsible for the production of a large part of the biomass on this planet. Yet, there is only limited knowledge on how cell proliferation and differentiation in the cambial meristem are regulated.

Functional analysis of the Arabidopsis TETRASPANIN gene family in plant growth and development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
TETRASPANIN (TET) genes encode conserved integral membrane proteins that are known in animals to function in cellular communication during gamete fusion, immunity reaction and pathogen recognition.

The Slow Growth of Adventitious Roots in Tetraploid Hybrid Poplar (Populus simonii × P. nigra var. italica) May Be Caused by Endogenous Hormone-Mediated Meristem Shortening

open access: yesPlants
Polyploidization produces abundant phenotypic variation. Little is currently known about adventitious root (AR) development variation due to polyploidization.

Regulation of Plant Growth and Development: A Review From a Chromatin Remodeling Perspective

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
In eukaryotes, genetic material is packaged into a dynamic but stable nucleoprotein structure called chromatin. Post-translational modification of chromatin domains affects the expression of underlying genes and subsequently the identity of cells by ...

Characterisation of inflorescence development in Zea mays with four developmental mutants : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biological Science at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The genetic control of inflorescence development has been studied in great detail in the model dicotyledonous plants Arabidopsis thaliana and Antirrhinum majus. In contrast, little is known about the genetic regulation in monocotyledonous species.

Nutrient Sensing in Plant Meristems

open access: yesPlant Molecular Biology, 2006
Plants need nutrient to grow and plant cells need nutrient to divide. The meristems are the factories and cells that are left behind will expand and differentiate. However, meristems are not simple homogenous entities; cells in different parts of the meristem do different things. Positional cues operate that can fate cells into different tissue domains.

Temporal dynamics of gene expression and histone marks at the Arabidopsis shoot meristem during flowering

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Plants can produce organs throughout their entire life from pluripotent stem cells located at their growing tip, the shoot apical meristem (SAM). At the time of flowering, the SAM of Arabidopsis thaliana switches fate and starts producing flowers instead

Nutritional and sensory characteristics of local and hybrid East African Highland cooking bananas: Implications for breeding programs

open access: yesJSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bananas (Musa species) are an important staple food and cash crop in many parts of the world. The East African Highland cooking bananas form the backbone of food security for millions of Ugandans. The demand for high quality cooking bananas is thus closely linked to their sensory characteristics (which drive consumer preference) and

Cell type boundaries organize plant development

open access: yeseLife, 2017
In plants the dorsoventral boundary of leaves defines an axis of symmetry through the centre of the organ separating the top (dorsal) and bottom (ventral) tissues.

Cadmium and arsenic affect root development in Oryza sativa L. negatively interacting with auxin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As), non essential, but toxic, elements for animals and plants are frequently present in paddy fields. Oryza sativa L., a staple food for at least the half of world population, easily absorbs As and Cd by the root, and in this ...
