The team mainly explored the behavior of a plant called 'Arabidopsis thaliana' when it was exposed to a pest attack.

This paper examines selection on induced epigenetic variation ("Lamarckian evolution") in response to herbivory in Arabidopsis thaliana. The authors find weak evidence for such adaptation, which ...

This promising imaging ability of leaf veins achieved by size optimization laid the foundation for the early diagnosis of viral infections. In vivo experiments further confirmed that SYH3 effectively ...

Finally, leaf shape classification is established by training and testing five distinct ML models. A thorough evaluation of selected models demonstrates superiority in classifying two common leaf ...

Through a genetic analysis, the WHO researchers identified the fungus as Chondrostereum purpureum, which causes a disease called silver leaf in plants. Related: Cause of mysterious brain-invading ...

FHY3 Represses the DNA Binding Activity of PIF5. Previous studies have shown PIF4 and PIF5 promote leaf senescence by activating the expression of EIN3, ORE1, ABI5, and EEL (Sakuraba et al., 2014).Our ...

Age‐dependent development of leaf hairs (trichomes) on the abaxial (lower) leaf surface in Arabidopsis is regulated by integration of positional and temporal cues via a transcriptional complex ...

Senescence is controlled by time-evolving networks that describe the temporal transition of interactions among senescence regulators. Here, we present time-evolving networks for NAM/ATAF/CUC (NAC) ...

Leaf senescence is an essential part of the plant lifecycle during which nutrients are re-allocated to other tissues. The regulation of leaf senescence is a complex process. However, the underlying ...

We established Arabidopsis leaf- and root-derived microbiota culture collections representing the majority of bacterial species that are reproducibly detectable by culture-independent community ...
