A plant can be thought of as a colony comprising numerous growth buds, each developing to its own rhythm. Such lack of synchrony impedes efforts to describe core principles of plant morphogenesis, dissect the underlying mechanisms, and identify regulators. Here, we use the minimalist known angiosperm to overcome this challenge and provide a model system for plant morphogenesis.

- - This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of line probe assays (LPAs) for diagnosing Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and drug-resistant TB, comparing their performance to traditional culture and drug susceptibility testing (DST) methods.
- - A systematic literature review included 147 studies and nearly 182,000 samples to analyze sensitivity, specificity, and other diagnostic metrics of LPAs for various types of TB, including drug-resistant forms.
- - The results showed high sensitivity and specificity for MTB and rifampicin-resistant TB, indicating that LPAs can be a reliable rapid diagnostic tool, while performance varied for other drug-resistant TB types, with some showing lower sensitivity.
