Plants rely on the maintenance of stem cell niches at their apices for the continuous growth
of roots and shoots. However, although the developmental plasticity of plant cells has been …

The last five decades of molecular and systems biology research have provided unprecedented
insights into the molecular and genetic basis of many cellular processes. Despite these …

Asymmetric cell divisions play an important role in the establishment and propagation of the
cellular pattern of plant tissues. The SHORT-ROOT (SHR) gene is required for the …

Positional information is pivotal for establishing developmental patterning in plants 1 , 2 , 3 ,
but little is known about the underlying signalling mechanisms. The Arabidopsis root radial …

Plants are under constant attack from insects, microbes, and other physical assaults that
damage or remove body parts. Regeneration is one common strategy among plants to repair …

In plants, cell fate specification depends primarily on position rather than lineage. Recent
results indicate that positional information can be transmitted through intercellular trafficking of …

To understand dynamic developmental processes, living tissues have to be imaged frequently
and for extended periods of time. Root development is extensively studied at cellular …

The use of hydrogels in academic research is fast evolving, and becoming more relevant to
real life applications across varying fields. Additive Manufacturing (AM) has paved the way …

Hydrogels have emerged as leading candidates to reproduce native extracellular matrix. To
provide structures and functions similar to tissues in vivo, controlled porosity and vascular …

In plants, shoot and root regeneration can be induced in the distinctive conditions of tissue
culture (in vitro) but is also observed in intact individuals (in planta) recovering from tissue …
