Strigolactones (SL) are the youngest group of plant hormones responsible for sha** plant
architecture, especially the branching of shoots. However, recent studies provided new …

Plants respond to a range of abiotic stimuli in nature involving anatomical, cellular,
morphological, and physiological changes. The adaptability of plants to acclimatize to …

Strigolactones and abscisic acid (ABA) are apocarotenoid-derived plant hormones. Their
biosynthesis starts with the conversion of trans-carotenes into cis forms, which serve as …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a major regulator of nonclimacteric fruit ripening, with its processes
involving epigenetic mechanisms. It remains unclear whether DNA methylation is associated …

Abstract Panax ginseng CA Meyer (P. ginseng) possesses extensive pharmacological uses,
yet its cultivation demands specific soil conditions. Nutrient deficiencies frequently impede …

Leaf senescence is a complex process strictly regulated by various external and
endogenous factors. However, the key signaling pathway mediating leaf senescence …

Pinellia ternata is a medicinal plant that has important pharmacological value, and the
bulbils serve as the primary reproductive organ; however, the mechanisms underlying bulbil …

Carotenoids contribute to a variety of physiological processes in plants, functioning also as
biosynthesis precursors of ABA and strigolactones (SLs). SL biosynthesis starts with the …

Fruit color is a crucial trait for bell pepper. To investigate the mechanism of color formation,
three bell pepper lines with different color (yellow, orange and red) were used as materials …

Carotenoids are much more than the familiar yellow-tored pigments that we find in fruits and
flowers. Arguably it is the products of carotenoid breakdown—the apocarotenoids—that are …
