Shoot loss reveals the latent capacity of Arabidopsis roots to reconstruct the plant body
Plant body organization depends on the coordinated development and function of shoots and roots, yet their functional specialization and interdependence remain incompletely understood. Whereas shoot senescence and death, as well as root regeneration from shoot tissues, are well studied, what capacities roots retain in the absence of the shoot remain unclear. To address this question, we tracked…
