This study shows auxin signaling in procambial tissues is essential for tissue attachment and vascular development during Arabidopsis thaliana graft formation.

The paper identifies EVG1 as a gene that suppresses vascular differentiation during plant regeneration in response to damage, showing its role in stress responses and interactions with RLP44.

This study shows that ERF114 and ERF115 mediate mechanical cues to switch between developmental and regenerative processes in plants.

This study shows elevated temperatures enhance vascular regeneration in plant grafts, mediated by leaf-derived auxin, and this effect is not limited to graft healing.

This study shows nitrates inhibit haustoria formation in parasitic plants by increasing abscisic acid levels, with effects observed in both facultative and obligate parasites.

The paper reconstructs the protophloem developmental trajectory in Arabidopsis root cells to show how maturation gradients and transcription factors regulate cell specialization.

This study shows that ABA influences xylem differentiation through distinct VND transcription factors in Arabidopsis, revealing genetic independence in cell fate and differentiation rate.

This study identifies OPDA as a mobile jasmonate precursor that translocates from damaged shoots to roots, coordinating growth responses in Arabidopsis.

The paper studies gene expression changes in grafted Arabidopsis hypocotyls to identify a recognition mechanism that activates vascular regeneration.

The paper shows nitrate regulates stem cell dynamics by modulating WUSCHEL expression via cytokinins, enabling plants to adapt to nutrient availability.
