Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a group of polyhydroxylated plant steroid hormones that are
crucial for many aspects of a plant's life. BRs were originally characterized for their function …

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are steroid hormones that are essential for plant growth and
development. These hormones control the division, elongation and differentiation of various …

Brassinosteroids are steroidal phytohormones that regulate plant development and
physiology, including adaptation to environmental stresses. Brassinosteroids are …

Brassinosteroids are plant steroid hormones that regulate diverse processes, such as cell
division and cell elongation, through gene regulatory networks that vary in space and time …

The plant-signaling molecule auxin triggers fast and slow cellular responses across land
plants and algae. The nuclear auxin pathway mediates gene expression and controls …

Saline-alkali soils pose an increasingly serious global threat to plant growth and
productivity. Much progress has been made in elucidating how plants adapt to salt stress by …

Phytosterols (plant sterols) occur in the cells of all plants. They are important structural
components that stabilize the biological membranes of plants. Sterols can occur in the “free” …

Drought represents a major threat to food security. Mechanistic data describing plant
responses to drought have been studied extensively and genes conferring drought …

Until recently, most studies on the role of hormones in plant-pathogen interactions focused
on salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), and ethylene (ET). It is now clear that pathogen …

The capacity to perceive and respond is integral to biological immune systems, but to what
extent can plants specifically recognize and respond to insects? Recent findings suggest …
