The timing of the transition to flowering in plants is regulated by various environmental factors,
including daylength and light quality. Although the red/far-red photoreceptor phytochrome …

Sex determination is a central process for sexual reproduction and is often regulated by a
sex determinant encoded on a sex chromosome. Rules that govern the evolution of sex …

… Yukiko Yasui performed the plastid localization experiment. Yukiko Yasui and Takayuki
Kohchi analysed the plastid localization experiment. Bjoern Gisk and Nicole Frankenberg-Dinkel …

Rice (Oryza sativa) has long and narrow leaves with parallel veins, similar to other grasses.
Relative to Arabidopsis thaliana which has oval-shaped leaves, our understanding of the …

The basal land plant Marchantia polymorpha efficiently propagates in favourable environments
through clonal progeny called gemmae. Gemmae develop in cup‐shaped receptacles …

A variety of plants in diverse taxa can reproduce asexually via vegetative propagation, in which
clonal propagules with a new meristem(s) are generated directly from vegetative organs. …

Many plants can reproduce vegetatively, producing clonal progeny from vegetative cells;
however, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying this process. Liverwort (…

Meristems such as the shoot apical meristem and flower meristem (FM) act as a reservoir of
stem cells, which reproduce themselves and supply daughter cells for the differentiation of …

The ABC model in flower development represents a milestone of plant developmental studies
and is essentially conserved across a wide range of angiosperm species. Despite this …

Sexual differentiation is a fundamental process in the life cycles of land plants, ensuring
successful sexual reproduction and thereby contributing to species diversity and survival. In the …
