In Arabidopsis thaliana, the asymmetric cell division (ACD) of the zygote gives rise to the embryo proper and an extraembryonic suspensor, respectively. This process is controlled by the ERECTA-YODA...

RNA editing modifies cytidines to uridines in plant organelle transcripts so that their sequence dif

Background The host shift in insects has been considered a key process with potential to collaborate

An analysis of leaf disparity through time in cycads shows that this group has a dynamic and expanding morphological diversity until the present, and thus does not fit the ‘living fossil’ hypothesis o...
