Plant development is characterized by periodic morphogenesis, yet regulatory mechanisms underlying the periodicity remain unknown. Tameshige et al. reveal that bistable cellular status modulates the s...

In Arabidopsis roots, xylem-pole-pericycle (XPP) cells exhibit dual cell fates by contributing to both lateral root (LR) and cambium formation. Despit…

A study using Arabidopsis shows that plants can monitor the integrity of their outer barriers by sensing gas diffusion, enabling them to initiate wound repair to prevent water loss and pathogen entry.

Abstract. Regenerative responses of plants are primarily triggered by injury in natural conditions, while desirable regenerative responses are often achiev

Identifying the metabolic and genetic changes that confer evolutionary novelty is essential for understanding the factors facilitating or constraining the occurrence of traits. We show that dimethyl d...

Nature Plants - Anthers, the male reproductive organs in plants, are a model to explore the establishment of complex three-dimensional shapes. Live imaging, genetics and modelling reveal an active...

Solé-Gil et al. report that the thermospermine-dependent genetic circuit controlling vascular proliferation in tracheophytes is not fully connected but divided into two modules in the bryophyte Marcha...

RESYDE: Re-engineering symmetry breaking in development and evolution. A consortia of plant scientists from Europe and Australia has been awarded a prestigious research grant from the ERC, which will ...

By integrating spatial transcriptomics and single-cell genomics technologies, we constructed a comprehensive single-cell atlas of gene expression and chromatin accessibility of the crop species Glycine max (soybean).

The group leaders join an international network of nearly 800 life scientists and receive financial support

Meet the Kierzkowski Lab, located in the Montréal Botanical Garden. The lab studies plant organogenesis using systems such as Arabidopsis and Physcomitrium.

Single-nucleus RNA-sequencing and chromatin-accessibility analyses in rice (a C3 plant) and sorghum (a C4 plant) provide insight into how C4 photosynthesis evolved in bundle-sheath cells, revealing th...
