Cover: Scanning electron microscope image of an Arabidopsis thaliana fruit of the kawak mutant, revealing unfused carpels, internal medial tissues, such as ovules, and an anther-like structure fused to a carpel (left side). The image is false-coloured to indicate different tissue types and internal structures. KAWAK, a direct target of the transcription factors NTT and STK, encodes the ABCG15 transporter, is probably involved in lipid transport and is required for the correct formation of fruits in Arabidopsis. See Research article by Herrera-Ubaldo et al. (dev172395).

History of our journals
As our publisher, The Company of Biologists, turns 100 years old, read about Development’s journey and highlights from some its first issues, and explore the history of each of our sister journals: Journal of Cell Science, Journal of Experimental Biology, Disease Models & Mechanisms and Biology Open.
Call for papers – Lifelong Development: the Maintenance, Regeneration and Plasticity of Tissues
Development invites you to submit your latest research to our upcoming special issue – Lifelong Development: the Maintenance, Regeneration and Plasticity of Tissues. This issue will be coordinated by Guest Editors Meritxell Huch (Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, Germany) and Mansi Srivastava (Harvard University and Museum of Comparative Zoology, USA), working alongside our team of academic Editors. Submit your articles by 15 May 2025.
A case for broadening our view of mechanism in developmental biology
In this Perspective, B. Duygu Özpolat and colleagues survey researchers on their views on what it takes to infer mechanism in developmental biology. They examine what factors shape our idea of what we mean by ‘mechanism’ and suggest a path forward that embraces a broad outlook on the diversity of studies that advance knowledge in our field.
