Abstract excerpt
Rhizomes, horizontal underground stems, play fundamental roles in plant persistence and perennial growth by enabling clonal propagation, resource storage, and stress resilience. Despite their ecological and agronomic importance across plant lineages, the genetic and developmental regulation of rhizomes remains poorly characterized. Here, we synthesize findings from in vitro induction studies, in vivo...
