Shows the user interface for RhizoVision Explorer with multiple panes including options and color-coded roots in the middle based on their diameter. Include the RVE shield logo and the website rhizovision.com

Do you want to study roots? We released RhizoVision Explorer 3 years ago and now have 12,500+ downloads. RVE is free, open-source software for analyzing root images. The website covers common reproducible imaging approaches. Feel free to ask any questions! Version 2 coming!

Proper activity of the age‐dependent miR156 is required for leaf heteroblasty and extrafloral nectary development in Passiflora spp. Passion flower extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) protrude from leaves and facilitate mutualistic interactions with insects; however, how age cues control EFN growth remains poorly understood. Here, we ex...

In Brazil, our group has been trying to understand how miR156 influences the formation of very complex organs in plants. See our curious results in @newphyt.bsky.social

Identification of cambium stem cell factors and their positioning mechanism Wood constitutes the largest reservoir of terrestrial biomass. Composed of xylem, it arises from one side of the vascular cambium, a bifacial stem cell niche that also produces phloem on the opposing ...

Finally out! We identified the stem cell factors (CAILs) of the vascular cambium, and a mechanism involving a ligand sequestration to position the stem cells. This work is a result of fruitful collaboration with @peteretchells.bsky.social and Tusscher labs. 🧵 1/x
