What makes plants grow to a certain size? From the tiniest cells to whole leaves, roots, and stems, growth has to be carefully coordinated—but until now, it has been hard to compare findings from ...

Using systems biology, researchers successfully identified previously unknown protein targets of plant pathogens in the flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana, employing some of the same methods used to ...

Arabidopsis thaliana is the model system of choice for plant molecular geneticists. Forward genetic screens in Arabidopsis offer a powerful means for the functional characterization of various aspects ...

The physical BAC map essentially correlates with the 'consensus' genetic map created by the use of a recombinant inbred (RI) population 17 (http://nasc.nott.ac.uk/new ...

The microtubule cytoskeleton is an important component of both neuronal cells and plant cells. While there are large differences in the function of microtubules between the two groups of organisms, ...

The machinery of life is dazzlingly complex. To try to make sense of it, researchers have spent decades focusing on so-called model organisms: creatures that are easy to study in the lab and share key ...

Aerobic reactions are essential to sustain plant growth and development. Impaired oxygen availability due to excessive water availability, e.g., during waterlogging or flooding, reduces plant ...

Credit must be given to the creator. Only noncommercial uses of the work are permitted. Adaptations must be shared under the same terms. Fluorescence microscopy image of the tip of the root of ...

A common lab plant that’s been poked and put under microscopes for decades may seem unlikely to keep secrets. But in widely studied Arabidopsis thaliana, scientists have identified the “cantil” — a ...
