Biologists have identified all the genes expressed in the stem cells of Arabidopsis, a mustard-like plant that is a model for studying plant biology. The achievement paves the way to developing better ...

Add this universal truth to biology textbooks: the mass of a plant's leaves and stems is proportionally scaled to that of its roots in a mathematically predictable way, regardless of species or ...

Unraveling the mysteries of plant growth, a recent study titled “How plants decide their size: Study maps plant growth strategies across roots, leaves, and stems” has shed light on the key mechanisms ...

Plant stem cells, as in animals, are maintained in specialized microenvironments, which are known as stem cell niches, where local signals from organizer cells act to prevent stem cell differentiation ...
