An inter-university research group has succeeded in constructing the gene expression network behind the vascular development process in plants. They achieved this by performing bioinformatics analysis ...

The phloem plays essential roles in the source-to-sink relationship and in long-distance communication, and thereby coordinates growth and development throughout the plant. Here we employed isolation ...

Plant researchers and bioinformatics researchers have succeeded for the first time in identifying the functions of the different cell types in the leaf vasculature of plants. The leaf vasculature of ...

Aguilar-Martınez JA, Poza-Carrion C, Cubas P. 2007. Arabidopsis branched1 acts as an integrator of branching signals within axillary buds. Plant Cell 19: 458–472. Aki T, Shigyo M, Nakano R, Yoneyama T ...

Plant researchers have investigated the transport of compounds in maize. They focused on the mechanism used to transport the products of photosynthesis for further distribution in the plant through ...

To establish productive infection, plant viruses need to be able to efficiently invade and spread within a plant. Most viruses are introduced into a plant via the epidermal or mesophyll cells where ...
