1.
Sun C, Wei J, Gu X, Wu M, Li M, Liu Y, et al.
Plant Cell . 2024 Oct; PMID: 39404780
Herbivore-induced wounding can elicit a defense response in plants. However, whether plants possess a surveillance system capable of detecting herbivore threats and initiating preparatory defenses before wounding occurs remains unclear....
2.
Li M, Niu X, Li S, Fu S, Li Q, Xu M, et al.
Plants (Basel) . 2023 Jun; 12(12). PMID: 37375990
CRISPR/Cas9 (hereafter Cas9)-mediated gene knockout is one of the most important tools for studying gene function. However, many genes in plants play distinct roles in different cell types. Engineering the...

Xu H, Liu P, Wang C, Wu S, Dong C, Lin Q, et al.
Plant Physiol . 2022 Jul; 190(2):1165-1181. PMID: 35781829
Vascular tissues are surrounded by an apoplastic barrier formed by endodermis that is vital for selective absorption of water and nutrients. Lignification and suberization of endodermal cell walls are fundamental...

Li M, Wang M, Lin Q, Wang M, Niu X, Cheng J, et al.
J Integr Plant Biol . 2022 Feb; 64(4):859-870. PMID: 35199475
Root cap not only protects root meristem, but also detects and transduces the signals of environmental changes to affect root development. The symplastic communication is an important way for plants...
5.
Xu M, Gu X, Yu Q, Liu Y, Bian X, Wang R, et al.
Plant Physiol . 2021 Feb; 185(4):1652-1665. PMID: 33599750
The stem cell niche (SCN) is critical in maintaining continuous postembryonic growth of the plant root. During their growth in soil, plant roots are often challenged by various biotic or...

Xu M, Gu X, Liang N, Bian X, Wang H, Qin Y, et al.
J Integr Plant Biol . 2019 Oct; 62(7):897-911. PMID: 31638324
Root stem cell niche (SCN) consists of a quiescent center (QC) and surrounding stem cells. Disrupted symplastic communication leads to loss of stemness in the whole SCN. Several SCN regulators...

Xu M, Chen F, Qi S, Zhang L, Wu S
Hortic Res . 2018 Aug; 5:42. PMID: 30083357
The stomatal complex is critical for gas and water exchange between plants and the atmosphere. Originating over 400 million years ago, the structure of the stomata has evolved to facilitate...

Yu Q, Li P, Liang N, Wang H, Xu M, Wu S
Plant Physiol . 2017 Aug; 175(2):816-827. PMID: 28821591
Tissue organization and pattern formation within a multicellular organism rely on coordinated cell division and cell-fate determination. In animals, cell fates are mainly determined by a cell lineage-dependent mechanism, whereas...

Liu Y, Xu M, Liang N, Zheng Y, Yu Q, Wu S
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2017 Mar; 114(15):4005-4010. PMID: 28348232
Stem cells serve as the source of new cells for plant development. A group of stem cells form a stem cell niche (SCN) at the root tip and in the...

Wu S, OLexy R, Xu M, Sang Y, Chen X, Yu Q, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2016 Sep; 113(41):11621-11626. PMID: 27663740
Cell-to-cell communication is essential for the development and patterning of multicellular organisms. In plants, plasmodesmata (PD) provide direct routes for intercellular signaling. However, the role that PD-mediated signaling plays in...
