ERECTA signaling controls the timing of Arabidopsis Guard Cell maturation at the embryonic leaf tip

ERECTA signaling is identified as a local brake on embryonic stomatal cell maturation, discovering another way to push precocious stomatal cell maturation that results in a complex, partially mature cell state that provide insights into the limitations on cell embryonic cell maturation.

Advances in the study of the role of epigenetic mechanisms in plant growth and response to stress

Abstract Plants face the challenge of balancing dynamic environmental stresses with internal developmental demands during growth, necessitating the precise regulation of gene expression networks to optimize resource allocation. Recent studies have shown that epigenetic regulatory systems, which serve as bridges between...

Integration of Light, Temperature, and Hormonal Signaling in Plant Development Under Variable Environments.

Plant growth and development occur under environmental conditions in which light and temperature fluctuate across temporal and spatial scales, yet developmental outcomes remain stable and coordinated. Although light, temperature, and phytohormone signaling pathways have been extensively characterized, less attention ha...

Molecular mechanisms underlying the maintenance of terminal differentiation in Arabidopsis guard cells

In many plant species, guard cells retain their distinctive morphology and physiological function for extended periods after differentiation and maturation. How this terminally differentiated state is actively maintained over time is not fully understood, but recent studies have begun to reveal the underlying mechanism...
