Hormones played a fundamental role in improvement of yield in cereal grasses. Natural
variants affecting gibberellic acid (GA) and auxin pathways were used to breed semi-dwarf …

Key message Different plant hormones contribute to maize reproductive success. Abstract
Maize is a major crop species and significantly contributes directly and indirectly to human …

Brassinosteroids (BR) and gibberellins (GA) regulate plant height and leaf angle in maize
(Zea mays). Mutants with defects in BR or GA biosynthesis or signaling identify components …

Plant architecture is an important feature for agronomic performance in crops. In maize,
which is a monoecious plant, separation of floral organs to produce specific gametes has …

Abstract The Green Revolution more than doubled crop yields and food production in crop
species such as wheat and rice. This was primarily accomplished by altering the gibberellin …

Background: DELLA protein is a crucial factor which played pivotal roles in regulating
numerous intriguing biological processes in plant development and abiotic stress …

Dwarf plant architecture facilitates dense planting, and increased planting densities boost
the maize yield. However, breeding applications of dwarfing materials for maize are …

Auxin and gibberellin significantly influence plant pistil development, but their specific roles
in the formation of the three pistils trait in wheat are still unclear. To investigate the effects of …

All plant organs are derived from stem cell-containing meristems. In maize, the shoot apical
meristem (SAM) is responsible for generating all above-ground structures, including the …

Tetrapyrroles are macrocyclic compounds present in and required for all life on Earth.
Mutants with defects in tetrapyrrole pathway enzymes can be used to uncover natural …
