KATANIN promotes cell elongation and division to generate proper cell numbers in maize organs Microtubule severing is essential for proper eukaryotic cell elongation and division. Here we show that the microtubule severing protein, KATANIN, is encoded by two genes in Zea mays (maize) called Di...

Excited to share this preprint on the microtubule severing protein Katanin, and its role in cell elongation and division in maize. First author Stephanie Martinez worked collaboratively with many folks to bring you this preprint. Check it out! 🔬🌽 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Development cover: Embryonic eye of an anole lizard stained for nuclei (DAPI, blue) and F-actin (Phalloidin, orange), imaged by spinning disc confocal microscopy and processed using ImageJ. The image was acquired at the 2025 MBL Embryology course by Arthur Boutillon and was the Editor's choice from the Node image competition.

Congratulations to the winners of our image competition with the @mblscience.bsky.social Embryology course. The winner of the Editor’s choice is an image of a anole lizard eye, acquired by Arthur Boutillon @campaslab.bsky.social.

Local regulation of auxin-related pathways in the shoot apical meristem plays a major role during proliferative arrest González-Cuadra et al. show that repression of auxin-related pathways locally in the SAM is key in the control of proliferative arrest. FRUITFULL regulates these pathways to promote meristem arrest. B...

It was already known that auxins (surprise!) had a key role controlling the end of flowering, plant menopause. Now we can tell you how and where they act in the inflorescence meristem to control the process.

Plant cells at the organ surface use mechanical cues to activate a specific growth control programme During morphogenesis of multicellular organs, cells acquire distinct identities that meet specific functional requirements. Epidermal identity is widely considered essential for plant morphogenesis du...
