A gene that regulates the development of roots in vascular plants is also involved in the organ development of liverworts—land plants so old they don't even have proper roots. The Kobe University ...

Storage root formation in sweet potato is a highly orchestrated process that transforms fine adventitious roots into enlarged, starch‐rich organs. This transition is governed by the initiation of a ...

Plant scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have garnered the most comprehensive—and first ever—genetic level dataset of the rooting process in a flowering model grass, Brachypodium.

In plants, development must be both robust—to ensure appropriate growth—and plastic—to enable the adaptation to external cues 1,2,3,4,5. Plastic development largely depends on the modulation of gene ...

The interaction between Hertwig's epithelial root sheath (HERS) and surrounding mesenchymal cells is crucial for root dentin formation. HERS influences tooth root development and odontoblast ...
