TL;DR: Analysis of the molecular mechanisms underlying AP1 function indicates that it functions first to repress vegetative identity, then to help establish floral primordia, and finally to shape the differentiation of floral parts, implying that AP1 orchestrates floral initiation by integrating growth, patterning, and hormonal pathways.

TL;DR: It is shown that PT reception and powdery mildew infection, which involves communication between a tip-growing hypha and a plant epidermal cell, share molecular components.

TL;DR: The development of multicellular organisms is controlled by differential gene expression whereby cells adopt distinct fates as mentioned in this paper, and a spatially resolved view of gene expression allows the elucidation of transcriptional networks that are linked to cellular identity and function.

TL;DR: The genomewide identification of target genes revealed that AP3/PI act as bifunctional transcription factors: they activate genes involved in the control of numerous developmental processes required for organogenesis and repress key regulators of carpel formation.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that AG controls flower development to a large extent by controlling the expression of other genes with regulatory functions, which are involved in mediating a plethora of different developmental processes.
