MicroProteins (miPs) are short, usually single-domain proteins that, in analogy to miRNAs,
heterodimerize with their targets and exert a dominant-negative effect. Recent bioinformatic …

MicroProteins are short, single domain proteins that act by sequestering larger, multi-domain
proteins into non-functional complexes. MicroProteins have been identified in plants and …

A defining feature of plant leaves is their flattened shape. This shape depends on an
antagonism between the genes that specify adaxial (top) and abaxial (bottom) tissue identity; …

Plants continuously elaborate their bodies through post-embryonic, reiterative organ formation
by apical meristems [1]. Meristems harbor stem cells, which produce daughter cells that …

The effects of brassinosteroid signaling on shoot and root development have been characterized
in great detail but a simple consistent positive or negative impact on a basic cellular …

Auxin efflux through plasma-membrane-integral PIN-FORMED (PIN) carriers is essential for
plant tissue organization and tightly regulated. For instance, a molecular rheostat critically …

The plant vasculature is an essential adaptation to terrestrial growth. Its phloem component
permits efficient transfer of photosynthates between source and sink organs but also …

The phloem transport network is a major evolutionary innovation that enabled plants to
dominate terrestrial ecosystems. In the growth apices, the meristems, apical stem cells …

MicroProteins are potent post-translational regulators. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana),
the miP1a/b microProteins delay floral transition by forming a complex with CONSTANS (CO…

Stem cells in the shoot apex of plants produce cells required for the formation of new leaves.
Adult leaves are composed of multiple tissue layers arranged along the dorso-ventral (…
