The phytohormones auxin and cytokinin interact to regulate many plant growth and
developmental processes. Elements involved in the biosynthesis, inactivation, transport …

Auxin is a crucial phytohormone that has various effects on the regulators of plant growth
and development. Auxin signal transduction is mainly controlled by two gene families: auxin …

Melatonin (MEL) has been revealed as a phylogenetically conserved molecule with a
ubiquitous distribution from primitive photosynthetic bacteria to higher plants, including …

The rice root system is important for growth. The crosstalk between auxin and cytokinin
mediates root initiation and elongation. However, it remains unclear how the transcriptional …

Drought has been highly prevalent around the world especially in Sub‐Saharan Africa and
South‐East Asian countries. Consistent climatic instabilities and unpredictable rainfall …

In this study we test the hypothesis that maize genotypes with reduced crown root number
(CN) will have greater root depth and improved water acquisition from drying soil. Maize …

Roots play an essential role in the acquisition of water and minerals from soils. Measuring
crop root architecture and assaying for changes in function can be challenging, but …

Root branching is critical for plants to secure anchorage and ensure the supply of water,
minerals, and nutrients. To date, research on root branching has focused on lateral root …

The flag leaf and grain belong to the source and sink, respectively, of cereals, and both have
a bearing on final yield. Premature leaf senescence significantly reduces the photosynthetic …

The plant hormone group, the cytokinins, is implicated in both qualitative and quantitative
components of yield. Cytokinins have opposing actions in shoot and root growth—actions …
