C4 photosynthesis originated as an adaptation to low atmospheric CO2 concentrations 30-35 million years ago (Sage, 2016). Although accounting for only 3% of the vascular plants on earth, C4 plants contribute 25% of terrestrial photosynthesis (Westhoff and Gowik, 2010), thus providing a highly desirable…

Root system architecture (RSA) plays a crucial role in plant productivity and tolerance to environmental stresses. The maize (Zea mays) root system, composed of the embryonic primary root and variable numbers of seminal roots, as well as postembryonic shoot-borne and lateral roots, is both different…

The Arabidopsis hypocotyl is a valuable model for studying axial growth phenomena in flowering plants owing to its dramatic cell elongation in the absence of cell division and its sensitivity to environmental cues. When grown in the dark, a hypocotyl rapidly elongates, using the energy reserves in the…
