Thomas, H., Van den Broeck, L., Spurney, R., Sozzani, R., and Frank, M. (2021). Gene regulatory networks for compatible versus incompatible grafts identify a role for SlWOX4 during junction formation. Plant Cell. https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.02.26.433082 Graft incompatibility is a poorly understood phenomenon that presents a serious agricultural challenge. Unlike immediate incompatibility that results in rapid death, delayedContinue reading “Gene regulatory networks for compatible versus incompatible grafts identify a role for SlWOX4 during junction formation”
