Repeated clipping of the emerging inflorescence stems of Arabidopsis thaliana augments wood formation in organs, including those inflorescence stems that are allowed to develop later. Gravistimulation of such inflorescence stems induces tension wood formation, allowing the use of A. thaliana for a ...
1 Does the concept of the Arabidopsis“wood model” have merit? In our admittedly anecdotal experience, the use of Arabidopsis thaliana as a model for wood development has been questioned, at times quite strongly over the years, despite its extensive use for this purpose by laboratories all over...
Thus far, cambium and its activity were analyzed mainly in trees27–30 and the results revealed an important role for cambium in secondary xylem formation and thickening of woody plants in the nondisturbed development. Because of the difficulties in using woody plants as a model system31, ...
Populus trichocarpa is a good model system for studying wood development, perenniality, phenology and ecological interactions, processes that cannot be truly evaluated in annual model plants systems, such as Arabidopsis23,24. With growing interests in the use of lignocellulose as a source of biomass ...

For example, they regulate plant’s responses to abiotic stress including salt, drought, and cold in addition to normal growth and development [7,8,9]. AP2 domains were initially described as recurring motifs inside AP2 proteins of A. thaliana that mediated a regulatory function during ...
Such relevant differences in the expression and putative function of AtGUS1 and AtGUS2 versus AtGUS3 were somehow reflected in the GUS evolutionary tree, which might thus be configured as a suitable tool for inferring events of neo-functionalization (NF), sub-functionalization (SF) or escape fro...
Pollen tube is the fastest-growing plant cell. Its polarized growth process consumes a tremendous amount of energy, which involves coordinated energy fluxes between plastids, the cytosol, and mitochondria. However, how the pollen tube obtains energy and
