This interview, the 69th in our series, was recently published in Development. The apical hook is a transient structure that functions to protect the vulnerable apical meristem from damage when the seedling ...Posted by Kat Arney, on 28 February 2019
In this episode from our series exploring 100 ideas in genetics, we’re entering the glamorous world of modelling, meeting the supermodels… of science. We’re taking a look at some of ...Posted by gbassel, on 8 February 2019
By George Bassel and Iain Johnston Multicellular organs consist of collections of cells which come together to achieve what individual cells cannot. The establishment of order in complex tissues has ...Posted by the Node Interviews, on 19 January 2019
This interview, the 56th in our series, was recently published in Development Radial growth in plants is driven by proliferating cells in the cambium that give rise to the vascular tissues ...Posted by the Node Interviews, on 16 January 2019
This interview, the 53rd in our series, was published in Development last year The ability to sense and respond to light is fundamental to plant development. As seedlings move from the soil ...Posted by the Node Interviews, on 23 July 2018
Parasitic plants are fascinating and agriculturally relevant organisms that rely for their success on the haustorium, a specialised root structure that invades host root vasculature to derive nutrients and water. A ...Posted by the Node Interviews, on 18 July 2018
Asymmetric division is a widespread mechanism for generating cellular diversity during developmental patterning. The stomata of flowering plants are epidermal valves that regulate gas exchange, and provide an accessible system to investigate the mechanisms ...Posted by PCDLab, on 9 July 2018
Anna Daneva, Zhen Gao and Moritz Nowack tell the story behind their recent paper in Nature Plants The transience of flowers is proverbial. Degeneration of flowers is elicited after ...Posted by the Node Interviews, on 25 May 2018
Short CLE peptides regulate a wide variety of processes during plant development. In the developing root, the receptors and co-receptors for CLEs have remained largely unclear, as have the relationships ...Posted by the Node Interviews, on 11 May 2017
Our 20th instalment of this series comes from South Korea and features an investigation into the molecular basis of how temperature influences developmental transitions in Arabidopsis seedlings, recently published in Developmental Cell. We ...
