Nature Plants, Published online: 22 March 2022; doi:10.1038/s41477-022-01113-1A xylan-rich nanodomain at pit boundaries of xylem vessels maintains distinct wall patterns by anchoring cellulosic nanofibrils at the pit borders. These nan…
Nature Plants, Published online: 22 March 2022; doi:10.1038/s41477-022-01109-xAn examination of the potential use of fruit and wood from olive trees on the coast of Morocco approximately 100,000 years ago.
Nature Plants, Published online: 22 March 2022; doi:10.1038/s41477-022-01126-wThe idea of adapting plants to produce vaccines is almost as old as the genetic engineering of plants itself. Recent clinical trials suggest that it is an ap…
Nature Plants, Published online: 21 March 2022; doi:10.1038/s41477-022-01119-9In plants, impairing transgenerational resetting of juvenility leads to premature flowering in the offspring. This robust reset process is mediated by de nov…
Nature Plants, Published online: 21 March 2022; doi:10.1038/s41477-022-01110-4In Arabidopsis, microRNAs control the transition from juvenile to adult states. The study, using genomic, genetic and molecular approaches, investigates how …
Nature Plants, Published online: 21 March 2022; doi:10.1038/s41477-022-01112-2In potato, the TCP transcription factor BRANCHED1b represses aerial tuber formation in the axils of the leaves. It functions through limiting the number of p…
Nature Plants, Published online: 17 March 2022; doi:10.1038/s41477-022-01107-zIn hexaploid persimmon, the RADIALIS-like gene was identified as a key player in the reversion of male flowers to hermaphroditism. Interestingly, it acts ind…
Nature Plants, Published online: 17 March 2022; doi:10.1038/s41477-022-01108-yA method for targeted mutagenesis of mitochondrial genomes is presented. It combines site-specific DNA cleavage with selection for mutations that confer clea…
Nature Plants, Published online: 17 March 2022; doi:10.1038/s41477-022-01114-0Development of flowers typically employs conserved molecular pathways and recurrent sets of homologous genes. A new study shows that a homologue of RADIALIS,…
