Axillary buds are located at the base of each leaf. Initially dormant, each can grow into a branch. To study how branching is regulated by local signalling within each bud and by systemic signalling ...

Scientists in Japan investigate how apple axillary buds sense environmental conditions and enhance survival under harsh circumstances. Their study analyzes changes in chromatin structures and ...
