Plant development is a continuous process that starts with embryogenesis and the formation of the primary plant body and continues post germination with the stereotypical production of new organs (roots, leaves, branches, and flowers). The fundamental processes governing plant growth are regulated by the network of interactions between internal developmental signals and external environmental cues that drive the phenotypic plasticity and shape adaptive responses of plants. The crosstalk between different signals and pathways is delineated by the rigid framework of organism’s genetics and mediated by dynamic modifications in the epigenome that lead to changes in gene expression and ultimately in plant physiology and morphology. Our comprehension of the molecular network of interacting pathways orchestrating plant development in everchanging environments is continuously evolving. In the current issue, we feature 25 individual snapshots of the state-of-the-art in select areas of plant developmental biology, plant hormones, environmental responses, gene regulation, and technological innovations.
