From a fragile current model to a resilient future model. Today’s crops show low genetic diversity, are nutritionally limited, and require large inputs. In the more resilient model, there is more genetic diversity in our crop plants, they are more nutrient rich, and their input demands are lower.

Functions of ancient clade WOX transcription factors in regenerative responses of the model moss P. patens and the model seed plant Arabidopsis. WOX13 orthologs in P. patens regulate elongation of protonema stem cells from the cut leaf. Similarly, Arabidopsis WOX13 promotes formation of highly expanded cells at the wound site.
