Morphogenesis depends on the modulation of cell proliferation and differentiation. The reverse genetics approach of García-Cruz et al. reveals that such modulation is dynamically adjusted in response to various signals...
Sun et al. study structural and functional variation of FUL-like (AP1 subfamily), SEP-like and AGL6-like genes in the basal eudicot Epimedium sagittatum.
This is an exciting time to study how different non-model species use common developmental genes to create such diversity in the plant world. In many cases researchers tend to identify, within newly available sequences...
The second-whorl floral organs of Sinofranchetia chinensis (Lardizabalaceae) are nectar leaves. Hu et al. study the expression patterns of floral MADS-box genes in S. chinensis and find that SIchAP3-3 is significantly...
The mantled somaclonal variation of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) hampers oil production as the supernumerary female organs are either sterile or produce fruits with poor oil yields. Jaligot et al. provide an overview of...
