Light is an important source of both information and energy for plants. Diurnal rhythms and seasonal changes, as well as surrounding competition are detected by the available light quality and quantity. Sensing changing ...

In this work, the bZIP transcirption factor FDP has been shown to interact with key floral regulators in planta

In plants, the recognition of external and internal stimuli is mediated by plasma membrane-localized receptors, which are heterogeneously distributed and organized in nanodomains. How their formation is regulated and how ...

Cell division is a fundamental process in every living organism. Therefore it is important to investigate this mechanism. Higher plants developed a separate kind of cell division since the cells are not motile unlike mammal ...
