This study identifies a CUC2-MIR164A feedback loop that regulates leaf morphogenesis through dynamic gene expression control.

This study identifies a miR319-TCP4-BRC1 regulatory module that links sugar metabolism to shoot branching in rose and Arabidopsis.

The paper shows hydathodes are both entry points for pathogens and critical for limiting their spread in plant leaves.

This study identifies a genetic network controlling hydathode formation and links it to leaf morphogenesis, showing hydathodes maintain water homeostasis by preventing leaf flooding.

The paper investigates organ-specific rewiring of the NGAL/CUC/KLU gene regulatory network in Arabidopsis, revealing how developmental constraints influence GRN modulation and gene pleiotropy.

The paper shows that compromised PRC2 function in Arabidopsis is compensated by miRNA164B, maintaining leaf morphogenesis robustness despite transcriptional derepression of CUC2.

The paper introduces M2WISH, a protocol for whole-mount mRNA in situ hybridization in Arabidopsis that enables 3D cellular resolution of gene expression during meristem conversion.
