Robust planar morphogenesis in leaf-like organs requires callose-dependent coordination of division and growth

This study shows that callose-dependent coordination between cell division and growth is essential for planar morphogenesis in moss phyllids.

Decarboxylation of indoleacetic acid illuminates its evolution into a plant hormone

This study identifies IAA decarboxylation as a conserved metabolic pathway in streptophyte algae and land plants, linking IAA's instability to its evolution as a plant hormone.

Near-equiprobable binary branching decisions underlie filament patterning in the moss Physcomitrium patens

The paper identifies a probabilistic model for branching in moss filaments, showing subapical cells have near-equal chances of forming or not forming side-branches.

Evolution of moss leaf-like organs through variations in deeply conserved developmental principles

The paper investigates auxin's role in moss phyllid development, showing conserved functions but divergent transport mechanisms compared to vascular plants.
