TL;DR: It is considered how Arabidopsis may be useful as a model for identifying and characterizing specific genes that influence developmental traits and how the influence of the sculptor's hand should be overlooked.

TL;DR: An Arabidopsis ethylene-sensitive mutant, inflorescence deficient in abscissions (ida), in which floral organs remain attached to the plant body after the shedding of mature seeds, even though a floral abscission zone develops, is identified.

TL;DR: Successful collection of fruits and seeds of crops such as wheat, rice, and a variety of legumes was only possible due to the selection for delayed fruit.

TL;DR: It is reported that the plasma membrane–localized transmembrane kinase (TMK) receptor–like kinases interact with ABP1 and transduce auxin signal to activate plasma membrane-associated ROPs from plants, leading to changes in the cytoskeleton and the shape of leaf pavement cells in Arabidopsis.

TL;DR: It is found that the AGL15 protein accumulates transiently in the shoot apex in young Arabidopsis and Brassica seedlings and that promoter activity is associated with theshoot apex and the base of leaf petioles throughout the vegetative phase.
