Effective plant defense against pathogens relies on highly coordinated regulation of immune gene expression.Enhancers,as cis-regulatory elements,are indispensable determinants of dynamic gene regulation,but the molecu...
E2F transcription factors(TF)comprise a family of proteins that regulate the expression of genes required for S-phase progression,among others.Arabidopsis genome encodes six E2F TFs(E2FA–F),which are classified as ty...

Flowers are composed of organs whose identity is defined by the combinatorial activity of transcription factors(TFs).The interactions between MADS-box TFs and protein complex formation have been schematized in the flo...
Plant tissues and organs are composed of cells surrounded by solid cell walls that cover flexible plasma membranes.The mechanical cues from neighboring cells perceived through the cell wall contribute to plant morphog...

Salicylic acid (SA) plays an important role in plant immune response, including resistance to pathogens and systemic acquired resistance. Two major components, NONEXPRESSOR OF PATHOGENESIS-RELATED GENES (NPRs) and TGA...
Plants show an incredible diversity of forms,dimensions,archi-tectures,structures,and reproductive behaviors.Yet,they can be geometrically described as composed of simple building units called phytomers,which are prod...

One key factor defining root system architecture is root branching,i.e.,the process of the formation of new root axes,called lateral roots(LRs),from an existing root.In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana,LRs origina...
