Marginal differences play a central role in complex leaf development
Blog, Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefDevelopment involves a delicate patterning of cell division and differentiation in three dimensions. This is beautifully illustrated in leaves, where three axes are visible: proximo-distal (from base to tip), medio-lateral (from the midvein to the margin/edge of the blade) and adaxial-abaxial (from upper…
Evolution of Trichome Development in Fruits
Blog, Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In a NutshellArteaga et al. report that some natural populations of Arabidopsis have trichomes on fruits. They exploit this previously unknown trait to explore the genetic underpinnings of trichome development and their evolutionary relevance. Plant Cell http://bit.ly/3byAMFl

A Hub of Hubs: The Central Role of ZmABI19 in the Regulatory Network of Maize Grain Filling
Blog, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefCereal grains accumulate large amounts of proteins and starch and are a major source of dietary calories for humans and animals. In maize (Zea mays), most of the storage compounds are synthesized during the grain-filling period of kernel development. Several key transcription factors (TFs) that regulate…
