Senescence is a developmental process which in annual crop plants overlaps with the
reproductive phase. Senescence might reduce crop yield when it is induced prematurely …

Recently nitric oxide (NO) has emerged as a key signalling molecule in plants. Here we
review the potential sources of endogenous NO, outline the biological processes likely to be …

Most classical plant hormones are also produced by pathogenic and symbiotic fungi. The
way in which these molecules favour the invasion of plant tissues and the development of …

Plant hormones play important roles in regulating developmental processes and signalling
networks involved in plant responses to a wide range of biotic and abiotic stresses. Salicylic …

Cytokinins were discovered in the 1950s by their ability to promote cell division in cultured
plant cells. Recently, there have been significant breakthroughs in our understanding of the …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a process that plays a fundamental role in plant
development and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Knowledge of plant PCD …

Programmed cell death (PCD), the highly regulated dismantling of cells, is essential for plant
growth and survival. PCD plays key roles in embryo development, formation and maturation …

Plants produce cytokinin (CK) hormones for controlling key developmental processes like
source/sink distribution, cell division or programmed cell-death. Some plant pathogens have …

The objective of this research was to evaluate the PGPR effect on nodulation and nitrogen-
fixing efficiency of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) by co-inoculation with Bradyrhizobium …

Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a significant role in the regulation of many physiological
processes of plants. It is often used in tissue culture systems to promote somatic …
