Plasmodesmata are intercellular organelles in plants that establish cytoplasmic continuity
between neighboring cells. Microinjection studies showed that plasmodesmata facilitate the …

Plant transformation has enabled fundamental insights into plant biology and revolutionized
commercial agriculture. Unfortunately, for most crops, transformation and regeneration …

Like all organisms, plants require energy for growth. They achieve this by absorbing light
and fixing it into a usable, chemical form via photosynthesis. The resulting carbohydrate (sugar) …

The shape of a plant is largely determined by regulation of lateral branching. Branching
architecture can vary widely in response to both genotype and environment, suggesting …

A quasi two-dimensional drop of a magnetic fluid (ferrofluid) in a magnetic field is one example
of the many systems, including amphiphilic monolayers, thin magnetic films, and type I …

Precise control of plant stem cell proliferation is necessary for the continuous and reproducible
development of plant organs 1 , 2 . The peptide ligand CLAVATA3 (CLV3) and its …

A theory is developed for the dynamics of pattern formation in quasi-two-dimensional
domains of magnetic fluids (ferrofluids) in transverse magnetic fields. The pattern formation is …

Abstract Domains of magnetic and electric dipolar fluids are known to undergo fingering
instabilities in Hele-Shaw flow, forming complex labyrinthine patterns. The hydrodynamics of …

Suppression of inflorescence leaf, or bract, growth has evolved multiple times in diverse
angiosperm lineages, including the Poaceae and Brassicaceae. Studies of Arabidopsis thaliana …

We describe a series of experiments used in a sophomore-level quantum physics course that
are designed to provide students with a hands-on introduction to quantum mechanics. By …
