Coping With Water Limitation: Hormones That Modify Plant Root Xylem Development [PDF]
Periods of drought, that threaten crop production, are expected to become more prominent in large parts of the world, making it necessary to explore all aspects of plant growth and development, to breed, modify and select crops adapted to such conditions.

Integrated Transcriptomic and Proteomic Analysis in the Roadmap of the Xylem Development Stage in Populus tomentosa [PDF]
Xylem development plays an important role in the wood formation of plants. In this study, we found that xylem development was a rapid thickening process characterized by initially rapid increases in the number of tracheary elements and fiber cells and ...

The Regulation of Xylem Development by Transcription Factors and Their Upstream MicroRNAs. [PDF]
Xylem, as a unique organizational structure of vascular plants, bears water transport and supports functions necessary for plant survival. Notably, secondary xylem in the stem (i.e., wood) also has important economic and ecological value. In view of this, the regulation of xylem development has been widely concerned.

A Phloem-Expressed PECTATE LYASE-LIKE Gene Promotes Cambium and Xylem Development [PDF]
The plant vasculature plays essential roles in the transport of water and nutrients and is composed of xylem and phloem, both of which originate from undifferentiated cells found in the cambium.

Transcription factor PagLBD21 functions as a repressor of secondary xylem development in Populus [PDF]
During secondary growth in trees, xylem cells differentiated from cambium cells begin to synthesize secondary cell walls that are primarily composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, and are deposited between primary cell walls and plasma membranes,
