Plant vascular systems exhibit a wide developmental spectrum, from rigid woody tissues to soft, fleshy storage tissues. We show that increasing polyamine thermospermine transport into wild-type rootstocks, together with cytokinin, reprograms xylem identity from woody to fleshy in Arabidopsis. Our findings establish thermospermine as a mobile developmental signal and suggest a strategy for engineering plant vascular architecture.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
