A core mechanism for specifying root vascular pattern can replicate the anatomical variation seen in diverse plant species. Development, 146(6), Article dev172411. https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.172411

Pattern formation is typically controlled through the interaction between molecular signals within a given tissue. During early embryonic development, roots of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana have a radially symmetric pattern, but a heterogeneou...

© 2019, Springer Nature Limited. Apical growth in plants initiates upon seed germination, whereas radial growth is primed only during early ontogenesis in procambium cells and activated later by the vascular cambium 1 . Although it is not known how... Read More about Mobile PEAR transcription factors integrate positional cues to prime cambial growth.
