Plant hormones are a group of small signaling molecules produced by plants at very low
concentrations that have the ability to move and function at distal sites. Hormone …

It has been almost a century since biologically active gibberellin (GA) was isolated. Here, we
give a historical overview of the early efforts in establishing the GA biosynthesis and …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are the key players in regulating developmental processes
of plants. Plants have evolved a large array of gene families to facilitate the ROS-regulated …

In this experiment, we investigated salinity-induced oxidative stress in rice with the
involvement of sub1A quantitative trait loci for reactive oxygen species metabolism. We …

Plant roots serve as the primary interface between the plant and the soil, encountering
numerous challenges ranging from water balance to nutrient uptake. One of the central …

How do growth hormones interact to specify female-germline cell types in flowering plants
and control production of the first female-germline cell? Here, we find that gibberellin (GA) …

One mechanism plants use to tolerate high salinity is the deposition of cutin and suberin to
form apoplastic barriers that limit the influx of ions. However, the mechanism underlying …

Plant defense responses to the soil-borne fungus Verticillium longisporum causing stem
stripe disease on oilseed rape (Brassica napus) are poorly understood. In this study, a …

Abscisic acid (ABA), one of the six major plant hormones, plays an essential and
irreplaceable role in numerous physiological and biochemical processes during normal …

High-density planting can increase crop productivity per unit area of cultivated land.
However, the application of this technology is limited by the inhibition of plant growth in the …
