Global warming and declining water resources are threatening the sustainability of rice
production and global food security. Conventional continuously flooded system (CF) of rice …

Plant growth regulators are naturally biosynthesized chemicals in plants that influence
physiological processes. Their synthetic analogous trigger numerous biochemical and …

The importance of rhizomicrobiome in plant development, nutrition acquisition and stress
tolerance is unquestionable. Relevant plant genes corresponding to the above functions …

Plant growth and development has to be continuously adjusted to the available resources.
Their optimization requires the integration of signals conveying the plant metabolic status, its …

Cytokinin regulates many important aspects of plant development in aerial and
subterranean organs. The hormone is part of an intrinsic genetic network controlling organ …

Optimizing root system architecture can overcome yield limitations in crop plants caused by
water or nutrient shortages. Classic breeding approaches are difficult because the trait is …

A role of the plant hormone cytokinin in regulating the development and activity of
chloroplasts was described soon after its discovery as a plant growth regulator more than 50 …

Cytokinins (CKs) are key phytohormones that not only regulate plant growth and
development but also mediate plant tolerance to drought stress. Recent advances in …

Following exposure to salinity, the root/shoot ratio is increased (an important adaptive
response) due to the rapid inhibition of shoot growth (which limits plant productivity) while …

The effects of water deficit on carbon and nitrogen metabolism were investigated in flag
leaves of wild-type and transgenic rice (Oryza sativa japonica 'Kitaake') plants expressing …
