Plants are exposed to a variety of abiotic stresses; these stresses have profound effects on
plant growth, survival, and productivity. Tolerance and adaptation to stress require …

The advent of user-friendly instruments for measuring force/deflection curves of plant
surfaces at high spatial resolution has resulted in a recent outpouring of reports of the …

Plant growth and development are critically influenced by unpredictable abiotic factors. To
survive fluctuating changes in their environments, plants have had to develop robust …

Long before its chemical identity was known, the phytohormone auxin was postulated to
regulate plant growth. In the late 1800s, Sachs hypothesized that plant growth regulators …

Plants maintain the ability to form lateral appendages throughout their life cycle and form
leaves as the principal lateral appendages of the stem. Leaves initiate at the peripheral zone …

The differential distribution of the plant signaling molecule auxin is required for many
aspects of plant development. Local auxin maxima and gradients arise as a result of local …

The dynamic, differential distribution of the hormone auxin within plant tissues controls an
impressive variety of developmental processes, which tailor plant growth and morphology to …

Auxin transport, which is mediated by specialized influx and efflux carriers, plays a major
role in many aspects of plant growth and development. AUXIN1 (AUX1) has been …

Plant development is subject to hormonal growth control and adapts to environmental cues
such as light or stress. Recently, significant progress has been made in elucidating hormone …

The plant hormone auxin is thought to provide positional information for patterning during
development. It is still unclear, however, precisely how auxin is distributed across tissues …
