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 …

Receptor kinases (RKs) are of paramount importance in transmembrane signaling that
governs plant reproduction, growth, development, and adaptation to diverse environmental …

Translational regulation by upstream open reading frames (uORFs) is becoming established
as a general mechanism for controlling the amount of protein that is synthesized from …

Seed germination is controlled by a number of mechanisms and is necessary for the growth
and development of the embryo, resulting in the eventual production of a new plant. Under …

Salicylic acid (SA) is an essential hormone in plant immunity, but its receptor has remained
elusive for decades. The transcriptional coregulator NPR1 is central to the activation of SA …

Brassinosteroid (BR) and gibberellin (GA) are two predominant hormones regulating plant
cell elongation. A defect in either of these leads to reduced plant growth and dwarfism …

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

Steroid hormone receptors mediate numerous crucial biological processes and are
classically thought to function as transcriptional regulators in the nucleus. However, it has …

Plants cannot move to escape environmental challenges. Biotic stresses result from a
battery of potential pathogens: fungi, bacteria, nematodes and insects intercept the …
