Curr Opin Plant Biol. 2023 Oct 5;76:102474. doi: 10.1016/j.pbi.2023.102474. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTComparative transcriptomics has emerged as a powerful approach that allows us to unravel the genetic basis of organ morphogenesis and its diversification processes during evolution. However, the application of comparative transcriptomics in studying plant morphological diversity addresses challenges such as identifying homologous gene pairs, selecting appropriate developmental stages for comparison, and extracting biologically meaningful networks.

Jasmonates and salicylic acid: Evolution of defense hormones in land plants
Curr Opin Plant Biol. 2023 Oct 4;76:102470. doi: 10.1016/j.pbi.2023.102470. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe emergence of plant hormone signaling pathways is deeply intertwined with land plant evolution. In angiosperms, two plant hormones, salicylic Acid (SA) and Jasmonates (JAs), play a key role in plant defense, where JAs-mediated defenses are typically activated in response to herbivores and necrotrophic pathogens, whereas SA is prioritized against hemi/biotrophic pathogens. Thus, studying the evolution of SA and JAs and their crosstalk is essential to understand the evolution of molecular plant-microbe interactions (E...

Connecting emerging with existing vasculature above and below ground
Curr Opin Plant Biol. 2023 Sep 27;76:102461. doi: 10.1016/j.pbi.2023.102461. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe vascular system was essential for plants to colonize land by facilitating the transport of water, nutrients, and minerals throughout the body. Our current knowledge on the molecular-genetic control of vascular tissue specification and differentiation is mostly based on studies in the Arabidopsis primary root. To what degree these regulatory mechanisms in the root meristem can be extrapolated to vascular tissue development in other organs is a question of great interest. In this review, we discuss the most recent p...

Pick a side: Integrating gene expression and mechanical forces to polarize aerial organs
Curr Opin Plant Biol. 2023 Sep 27:102460. doi: 10.1016/j.pbi.2023.102460. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHow organs acquire their shapes is a central question in developmental biology. In plants, aerial lateral organs such as leaves initiate at the flanks of the growing meristem as dome-shaped primordia. These simple structures then grow out along multiple polarity axes to achieve a dizzying array of final shapes. Many of the hormone signaling pathways and genetic interactions that influence growth along these axes have been identified in the past few decades. Open questions include how and when initial gene expression patt...
