Developmental timing in plants is tightly regulated at the whole-organism scale, from germination to flowering. Less is known about when and how local transitions are temporally regulated. Not every ...

Specific PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR members regulate shade avoidance in Arabidopsis and tomato but are not required for thermomorphogenesis-induced ste

Plants grow complex root systems to extract unevenly distributed resources from soils. Spatial differences in soil moisture are perceived by root tips, leading to the patterning of new root branches t...
