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: 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: 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,…
