leafkin—An R package for automated kinematic data analysis of monocot leaves
Growth is one of the most studied plant responses. At the cellular level, plant growth is driven by cell division and cell expansion. A means to quantify these two cellular processes is through kinematic analysis, a methodology that has been developed ...

Trafficking and localization of KNOTTED1 related mRNAs in shoot meristems
Multicellular organisms use transcripts and proteins as signaling molecules for cell-to-cell communication. Maize KNOTTED1 (KN1) was the first homeodomain transcription factor identified in plants, and functions in maintaining shoot stem cells.

Commercial scale genetic transformation of mature seed embryo explants in maize
A novel, efficient maize genetic transformation system was developed using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of embryo explants from mature seeds. Seeds from field grown plants were sterilized and crushed to isolate embryo explants consisting of the ...

AXR1 acts after lateral bud formation to inhibit lateral bud growth in Arabidopsis [PDF]
The AXR1 gene of Arabidopsis is required for many auxin responses. The highly branched shoot phenotype of mature axr1 mutant plants has been taken as genetic evidence for a role of auxin in the control of shoot branching.

The COP9 SIGNALOSOME is required for postembryonic meristem maintenance in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
Cullin-RING E3 ligases (CRLs) regulate different aspects of plant development, and are activated by modification of their cullin subunit with the ubiquitin-like protein NEDD8 (NEural precursor cell expressed Developmentally Down-regulated 8) (neddylation)

Transformation of Inhibitor of Meristem Activity (IMA) Gene into Jatropha curcas L.
Jatropha is one of the many biodiesel plants developed in tropical countries. Efforts to increase its productivity can be done using various methods of breeding. One of the breeding methods is the introduction of genes into the Jatropha plant. The aim of

GAP activity, but not subcellular targeting, is required for Arabidopsis RanGAP cellular and developmental functions [PDF]
The Ran GTPase activating protein (RanGAP) is important to Ran signaling involved in nucleocytoplasmic transport, spindle organization, and postmitotic nuclear assembly.

MicroRNA MIR396 regulates the switch between stem cells and transit-amplifying cells in arabidopsis roots [PDF]
To ensure an adequate organ mass, the daughters of stem cells progress through a transit-amplifying phase displaying rapid cell division cycles before differentiating.

Genetic control of meristem arrest and life span in Arabidopsis by a FRUITFULL-APETALA2 pathway
Monocarpic plants have a single reproductive cycle in their lives, where life span is determined by the coordinated arrest of all meristems, or global proliferative arrest (GPA).
