Brassinosteroid treatment reveals the importance of xyloglucan transglucosylase/hydrolase (XTH) genes in growth habit determination of twining common bean vines Open
Summary Brassinosteroids impact the development of G-fibers —specialized cells that generate tension in plants. To explore the functional and genetic relationships between G-fibers and twining stems of common bean, we applied an active bra…

Multiple metrics of trichome diversity support independent evolutionary hypotheses in blazingstars (<i>Mentzelia</i>: Loasaceae) Open
Trichomes are diverse and functionally important plant structures that vary in response to selection pressures across ecological gradients and evolutionary timescales. Classic hypotheses predict higher investment in trichomes in arid envir…

Gelatinous fibers develop asymmetrically to support bends and coils in common bean vines (<i>Phaseolus vulgaris</i>) Open
Premise Gelatinous (G)‐fibers are specialized fibers that generate tensile force to bend and straighten many plant organs; this phenomenon has been intensively studied in tension wood of trees. Previous work has shown that G‐fibers are com…

Gelatinous fibers develop asymmetrically for posture support of bends and coils in common bean vine Open
Gelatinous (G)-fibers are common in the stems of twining vines (twiners), but their role remain unclear given the lack of developmental insights. Here, we characterize the developmental anatomy of G-fiber formation in common bean stems ( P…

Do woody vines use gelatinous fibers to climb? Open
Summary Many plant movements are facilitated by contractile cells called gelatinous fibers (G‐fibers), but how G‐fibers function in the climbing movements of woody vines remains underexplored. In this Insight, we compare the presence and d…
