Owing to recent advances, plant vascular developmental can now be described from early specification during embryogenesis up to late differentiation events. Plant vascular tissues display both ...

When it comes to studying living organisms, one of the most fundamental aspects is understanding their structure at the microscopic level. This includes learning about the different types of tissues ...

Ikoma, Japan – The generation and maintenance of tissue boundaries are fundamental to the development of functional organs in both plants and animals. In general, tissue boundaries are initially set ...

There are three major classes of plant cells that can then differentiate to form the tissue structures of roots, stems, and leaves. (The three distinct types of plant cells are classified according to ...

This special issue of Journal of Experimental Botany focuses on the developmental mechanisms required to generate plant vascular tissue. The focus is Arabidopsis, including the three models for ...

A plant’s vascular system is essential for maintaining stem structure, providing mechanical support, and for delivering resources to various plant organs. However, the structure and distribution of ...

The essential mineral nutrient potassium (K⁺) is the most important inorganic cation for plants and is recognized as a limiting factor for crop yield and quality. Nonetheless, it is only partially ...

The use of antisera generated against synthetic peptides bear much promise as a potent tool, not least in trying to assign functions to raw DNA sequences suspected to encode proteins. It may also ...

A cytokinin-mediated, proliferation-based mechanism is involved in the generation and maintenance of cell-type specific tissue boundaries during vascular development in Arabidopsis roots. Specifically ...
