to coordinate growth of cells within the primary root. Second, we will use the example of the shade-avoidance response to illustrate the dynamics of plant hormone signaling for adaptation to a ...

Water-filled vacuoles provide the inner pressure plant cells need for structural support. However, damage to the plant’s cell wall risks vacuole rupture and cell death. The Dagdas group at the Gregor ...

First, a pattern recognition receptor (PRR) on the plant cell’s surface recognizes pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) released by invaders—say, the flagellar proteins from pathogenic ...

but a major gap in our knowledge is that we still do not know exactly what signaling molecules maintain plant stem cells. We have seen above that there are intriguing similarities in the way stem ...
