P.S. The #melon cultivar 'Piel de Sapo' (literally 'Toad Skin'), sometimes known as the Santa Claus melon or the Christmas melon, is a type of true melon (fam. #Cucurbitaceae, Cucumis melo, Indorous group) originating from Spain.

ARF3-mediated auxin signaling is essential for sex determination in cucumber Sex determination underpins genesis of male and female flowers with particularly important implications in plant breeding. Auxin and ethylene regulate femaleness in cucurbits. Here, we identified an a...

Auxin transport positions stem cells in the vascular cambium during normal development and regeneration | PNAS The vascular cambium contains bifacial stem cells producing secondary phloem in one and secondary xylem to the opposite direction. In Arabidopsis r...

By combining molecular genetics with cell-ablation experiments, we found that vascular cambium stem cells and xylem-identity cells form an interchangeable unit, a stem cell niche.

Fantastic work! Must read!

Roots employ several classes of hormones including rhizocrine signals that spend time outside of plant tissues in the rhizosphere. A schematic diagram illustrating (A) a longitudinal cross-section of a root growing in soil, and (B–E) examples of the contrasting modes of action for different hormone classes (denoted as yellow circles) involving (B) autocrine signalling (i.e. acting within the source cell), (C) paracrine signalling (i.e. acting close to the source cell), (D) endocrine signalling (i.e. acting in other organs after long-distance transport), and (E) rhizocrine signalling, where this class of hormone moves outside its root source via the soil (denoted by the blue arrow), returning to the root in response to a soil stress (denoted by the red arrow), triggering an adaptive response, denoted by the green arrow and receptor binding of the hormone signal.

A space for time. Exploring temporal regulation of plant development across spatial scales Developmental timing in plants is tightly regulated at the whole-organism scale, from germination to flowering. Less is known about when and how local transitions are temporally regulated. Not every ...

Our lab's first review article written with @yadhusankar.bsky.social and @vijayalakshmi.bsky.social is out now in The Plant Journal! 🎉🌱

We discuss temporal regulation of (plant) development. When and how do plants control organ and cell identity progression?

The similar, three-enzyme system is well used in base editing: UGI-nCas9-nucleoside deaminase.
