چکیده
An intricate arrangement of different cell types is required for the spring-loaded mechanism of spontaneous seed dispersal typical for many fruits. Liljegren and colleagues (2004 [this issue of Cell]) describe a nonlinear network of transcription factor genes controlling this process.

متن کاملNeuronal basis of tactile sense in the rat whisker system
Using their whiskers, rats have tactile capacities rivaling those of the human with our fingertips. We have carried out experiments to explore how neurons encode touch signals to build up a central representation. Touch signals begin with the receptors in the follicle of each whisker and can be traced to a columnar module in somatosensory cortex that is connected with the same whisker: the well...
