Article Abstract
Lateral roots (LRs) are crucial for increasing the surface area of root systems to explore heterogeneous soil environments. Major advances have recently been made in the model plant arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) to elucidate the cellular basis of LR development and the underlying gene regulatory networks (GRNs) that control the morphogenesis of the new root organ. This has provided a foundation for understanding the sophisticated adaptive mechanisms that regulate how plants pattern their root branching to match the spatial availability of resources such as water and nutrients in their external environment. We review new insights into the molecular, cellular, and environmental regulation of LR development in arabidopsis.

Drought stress dynamically reprograms specialised metabolism in medicinal plants. However, the transcriptional regulatory modules governing stress-adaptive metabolite synthesis remain poorly characterised. Here, we identified SbMYB8 as a drought-responsive transcription factor showing nuclear localisation and dose-dependent induction under drought in Scutellaria baicalensis.

Objectives: Postoperative pain remains a significant concern in endodontics. The main aim of this clinical trial was to assess the impact of various obturation technique and sealer types on post-obturation pain and sealer extrusion in single-visit nonsurgical root canal treatments.
Materials And Methods: Study participants were recruited through consecutive sampling from patients referred to the Endodontic Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Institution University, diagnosed as asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis.

Natural soils are reservoirs of potentially beneficial microbes that can improve plant performance. Here, we isolated 75 bacterial strains from surface-sterilised roots of Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) grown in a natural soil derived from an alder swamp. Culture-dependent isolation of individual strains from the roots, followed by monoassociation-based screening, identified seven bacteria that promoted Arabidopsis seedling weight.

Balsa (Ochroma lagopus Swartz), the world's lightest wood and a crucial material in wind turbine blades, holds significant potential to contribute to carbon neutrality efforts when cultivated in tropical areas such as Xishuangbanna, China. However, balsa trees planted in Xishuangbanna exhibit early branching, resulting in reduced wood yield. Our study investigated the pivotal factors in regulating shoot apical dominance and branching by comparing an early-branching cultivar from Indonesia with a late-branching cultivar from Ecuador.

In Arabidopsis roots, xylem-pole-pericycle (XPP) cells exhibit dual cell fates by contributing to both lateral root (LR) and cambium formation. Despite the significant progress in understanding these processes individually, the mechanism deciding between these two fates and its contribution on root architecture and secondary growth remain unknown. Here we combined lineage tracing with molecular genetics to study the regulation of fate plasticity of XPP cell lineage.
