Supergene control of chiral development in mirror-image flowers

The paper identifies a supergene controlling floral handedness in butterfly lilies, explaining how genetic factors influence left-right organ placement for cross-pollination.

Style deflection is determined by the handedness of phyllotaxis and auxin-induced differential cell elongation in a species with mirror-image flowers

This study identifies that floral handedness in Cyanella alba is determined by phyllotactic spiral direction and auxin-induced differential cell elongation, not genetics.

Modelling symplasmic transport: from biophysical basics to steeper root gradients

The paper develops a biophysical model of symplasmic transport to show how it can generate steeper gradients in plant tissues, challenging the belief that it hinders pattern formation.

Predicting plasmodesmata-mediated interface permeability and intercellular diffusion

The paper compares two methods to measure plasmodesmata permeability and shows their correlation, using simulations to predict diffusion patterns of defense molecules.
