Brassinosteroids control cell proliferation in the lateral root cap of the Arabidopsis root - EMBO Reports
Stem cell protection is key to proper plant development. The root cap tissue performs this task by enclosing delicate stem cells in the root meristem and consists of columella cells at the tip and lat...

After the destruction by unknown vandals of the NGT-1 grape experimental field of colleagues from Uni Verona, we will meet in Florence to discuss present and future of our researches. In Italian, it will be possibile to follow online upon registration.

I want this: Genome-edited Chardonnay grapes resistant or tolerant to mildew & powdery mildew! Did you know that grapes are grown on only ~5% of European agricultural land, but account for ~2/3 of all fungicide sprayed in Europe? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... #plantscience

New Article: "ABA-activated low-nanomolar Ca2+–CPK signalling controls root cap cycle plasticity and stress adaptation" rdcu.be/d1kKp An ultrasensitive biosensor shows how spatiotemporal Ca2+ dynamics modulate the root cap cycle in adaptation to stress through ABA–Ca2+–CPK signalling. #PlantScience
