Lateral roots in Arabidopsis arise from specialised cells in the pericycle layer of the primary root and represent a finely tuned developmental process that underpins overall plant architecture.
A gene that regulates the development of roots in vascular plants is also involved in the organ development of liverworts—land plants so old they don't even have proper roots. The Kobe University ...
A cytokinin-mediated, proliferation-based mechanism is involved in the generation and maintenance of cell-type specific tissue boundaries during vascular development in Arabidopsis roots. Specifically ...
