Plant growth is driven by cell proliferation and elongation [1]. The hormone gibberellin (GA)
regulates Arabidopsis root growth [2–5] by controlling cell elongation [6], but it is currently …

Agrobacterium rhizogenes (or Rhizobium rhizogenes) is able to transform plant genomes
and induce the production of hairy roots. We describe the use of A. rhizogenes in tomato (…

Most plant growth occurs post‐embryonically and is characterized by the constant and iterative
formation of new organs. Non‐invasive time‐resolved imaging of intact, fully functional …

Diverse microbial ecosystems underpin life in the sea. Among these microbes are many
unicellular eukaryotes that span the diversity of the eukaryotic tree of life. However, genetic …

High‐efficiency methods for DNA assembly have enabled the routine assembly of synthetic
DNA s of increased size and complexity. However, these techniques require customization, …

Boron is an essential micronutrient for plants and is taken up in the form of boric acid (BA).
Despite this, a high BA concentration is toxic for the plants, inhibiting root growth and is thus a …

As a model system to study physical interactions in multicellular systems, we used layers of
Escherichia coli cells, which exhibit little or no intrinsic coordination of growth. This system …

We present the coupled use of specifically localized fluorescent gene markers and image
processing for automated quantitative analysis of cell growth and genetic activity across living …

The B class of MADS-box floral homeotic genes specifies petal and stamen identity in
angiosperms. While this group is one of the most studied in herbaceous plant species, it has …

The advent of easy-to-use open source microcontrollers, off-the-shelf electronics and
customizable manufacturing technologies has facilitated the development of inexpensive scientific …
