... meristem-like cells emerge in the central region of the haustorium, differentiate into tracheary elements and establish a connection, known as a xylem bridge, between parasite and host xylem systems. Despite the importance of this parasitic connection, the regulatory mechanisms of xylem bridge formation...

...Daria Bloch; Malikarjuna Rao Puli; Assaf Mosquna; Shaul Yalovsky ABSTRACT Patterning of the root xylem into protoxylem (PX) and metaxylem is regulated by auxin-cytokinin signaling and microRNA miR165a/166b -mediated suppression of genes encoding Class III HOMEODOMAIN LEU-ZIPPER (HD-ZIPIII) proteins...

...Liam Campbell; J. Peter Etchells; Matthew Cooper; Manoj Kumar; Simon R. Turner ABSTRACT Division of the cambial cells and their subsequent differentiation into xylem and phloem drives radial expansion of the hypocotyl. Following the transition to reproductive growth, a phase change occurs...

...Prashanth Ramachandran; Guodong Wang; Frauke Augstein; Jan de Vries; Annelie Carlsbecker ABSTRACT The plant root xylem comprises a specialized tissue for water distribution to the shoot. Despite its importance, its potential morphological plasticity in response to environmental conditions...

Vermeer; Teun Munnik; Antia Rodriguez-Villalon The plant vascular network consists of specialized phloem and xylem elements that undergo two distinct morphogenetic developmental programs to become transport-functional units. Whereas...

... complementary vascular phenotypes. This suggests that members of the two gene families are involved in the establishment of the spatial arrangement of phloem, cambium and xylem. In this study, we have investigated the role of these two gene families in vascular tissue differentiation, in particular...
