Climate change threatens global food and nutritional security through negative effects on
crop growth and agricultural productivity. Many countries have adopted ambitious climate …

Multicellularity has emerged multiple times in evolution, enabling groups of cells to share a
living space and reducing the burden of solitary tasks. While unicellular organisms exhibit …

The maize root system has been reshaped by indirect selection during global adaptation to
new agricultural environments. In this study, we characterized the root systems of more than …

Plasmodesmata are plasma membrane‐lined connections that join plant cells to their
neighbours, establishing an intercellular cytoplasmic continuum through which molecules …

Oxygen is a key signalling component of plant biology, and whilst an oxygen-sensing
mechanism was previously described in Arabidopsis thaliana, key features of the associated …

It has been almost a century since biologically active gibberellin (GA) was isolated. Here, we
give a historical overview of the early efforts in establishing the GA biosynthesis and …

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are steroidal phytohormones that are essential for plant growth,
development and adaptation to environmental stresses. BRs act in a dose-dependent …

The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) accumulates under abiotic stress to recast water
relations and development. To overcome a lack of high-resolution sensitive reporters, we …

Limited water availability is a major environmental factor constraining plant development
and crop yields. One of the prominent adaptations of plants to water deficits is the …

Drought is one of the most serious abiotic stresses to land plants. Plants sense and respond
to drought stress to survive under water deficiency. Scientists have studied how plants sense …
