Analysis of vascular development in the hydra sterol biosynthetic mutants of Arabidopsis.

<h4>Background</h4>The control of vascular tissue development in plants is influenced by diverse hormonal signals, but their interactions during this process are not well understood. Wild-type sterol profiles are essential for growth, tissue patterning and signalling processes in plant d...
