Key regulators of juvenile-to-adult phase change
Plant Science Research WeeklyThe precise control of cell division orientation drives plant 3D structure formation, enabling radial and longitudinal growth. The SPL pathway is closely linked to age-related processes in the shoot, driving the vegetative transition from juvenile to adult phases by regulating specific morphological…
A robust mechanism for resetting juvenility during each generation in Arabidopsis (Nature Plants)
Plant Science Research WeeklyProper development requires an aging program that is regulated throughout the entire lifespan of an organism as well as across generations. In plants, reproductive cells are derived from differentiated cells, and thus the aging program encoded in these reproductive cells must be rejuvenated per generation.…
