PLoS Computational Biology, 2015 An auxin maximum is positioned along the xylem axis of the Arabidopsis root tip. The pattern depends on mutual feedback between auxin and cytokinins mediated by the PIN class of auxin efflux transporters and AHP6, an inhibitor of cytokinin signalling ...

Expanding the repertoire of secretory peptides controlling root development with comparative genome analysis and functional assays [PDF]
, 2015 Plant genomes encode numerous small secretory peptides (SSPs) whose functions have yet to be explored. Based on structural features that characterize SSP families known to take part in postembryonic development, this comparative genome analysis resulted ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2226-2240, April 2026.ABSTRACT The Orobanchaceae family, the largest group of parasitic plants, spans a complete spectrum from autotrophic to holoparasitic species. As a typical endangered holoparasitic species within this family, Cistanche deserticola is a parasitic plant that is widely harvested for traditional medicine in desertic regions, and of growing importance as a ...

Branching out in roots: uncovering form, function, and regulation [PDF]
, 2014 Root branching is critical for plants to secure anchorage and ensure the supply of water, minerals, and nutrients. To date, research on root branching has focused on lateral root development in young seedlings.

Artificial soil (ArtSoil): Recreating soil conditions in synthetic plant growth media
The Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 1, April 2026.SUMMARY Controlled plant growth in laboratories can be achieved by cultivating plants under sterile or axenic conditions on predefined synthetic growth media, typically supplemented with sugar. In nature, plants do not receive exogenous sugar supplies, form symbiosis with microbes, and plant growth is influenced by soil edaphic factors.

A map of cell type-specific auxin responses [PDF]
, 2013 In plants, changes in local auxin concentrations can trigger a range of developmental processes as distinct tissues respond differently to the same auxin stimulus. However, little is known about how auxin is interpreted by individual cell types.

Ubiquitin‐like SUMO protease expansion in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract SUMOylation is a protein post‐translational modification that is essential for plant growth and response to changing environments. However, past work in this area has mainly focused on simple sequence similarity methods for discovering SUMOylation genes, often using orthologue mapping from yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) or Arabidopsis ...
