Establishment of the apoplastic root barrier known as the Casparian strip occurs early in root development. In legumes, this area overlaps with nitrogen-fixing nodule formation, which raises the possi...

Gene duplication and subsequent paralogue diversification are major obstacles to genotype-to-phenotype predictability.

Plants have colonized lands 450 million years ago. This terrestrialization was facilitated by developmental and functional innovations. Recent evo-...

Nature Communications - This study describes ultrastructural changes and cell-specific calcium responses that accompany cytoplasmic bridge formation in legume root cells committed to symbiotic...
