Cammarata et al. explore how cell division orientation generates phyllotaxis in moss with a unicellular meristem. They show that successive rotational divisions in the apical cell are precisely placed...

Mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) is an adaptor involved in antiviral immunity, but its regulation is not fully understood. We identified carboxylation of MAVS by vitamin K (VK)–depende...

Nature Genetics - A super-pangenome analysis incorporating 123 newly sequenced bryophyte genomes reveals that bryophytes exhibit a larger number of unique and lineage-specific gene families than...

Abstract. We present the first chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation for the genus Cuscuta, a twining and leafless parasitic plant of the morning

Scientific Reports - Plant organ modulates morphological constraints of insect-induced galls: evidence from citizen science data

Gall-inducing insects manipulate host plant development, redirecting cellular fate and physiological processes to form novel structures. This phenomenon is even more intriguing when the host itself i...

Summary: The anatomy, symmetry and gene expression of the Marchantia polymorpha meristem changes during its lifespan, providing a foundational framework for identifying previously unreported mechanism...

We can now carry in our pockets applications that accurately identify the plants around us. These are interesting tools for researchers, but they also help everyone to appreciate the diversity of the ...

Wallner and Dolan describe the cell division patterns that form the flat Marchantia prothallus from a single-celled spore. A meristem with an apical stem cell develops on the prothallus to initiate in...

Many functional molecules and materials have been produced with organic chemistry or with in vitro enzymatic approaches. Individual organisms, such as insects, have the potential to serve as natural r...

Plant cell cycle and division are linked to specific cell fates and respond to growth-related cues, such as metabolic state, cell size, cell shape, and mec

Nature Biotechnology - Openness guides discovery

In a context where some scientists in the United States may feel threatened or hindered in their research, our university is announcing the launch of the Safe Place For Science program, dedicated to w...

The coordination of cellular behaviors is essential for proper organogenesis. Here the authors show that fruit development in Arabidopsis is governed by time-shifted differentiation gradients that act...
