Abstract
Understanding the development of vascular tissues in plants is crucial because the evolution of vasculature enabled plants to thrive on land. Various systems and approaches have been used to advance our knowledge about the genetic regulation of vasculature development, from the scale of single genes to networks. In this review, we provide a perspective on the major approaches used in studying plant vascular development, and we cover the mechanisms and genetic networks underlying vascular tissue specification, patterning, and differentiation.
Keywords:
cambial development; genetic approach; phloem differentiation; phytohormone signaling; plant vascular tissue patterning; transcriptional network; xylem differentiation.
