Plant roots retain developmental plasticity and respond to environmental stresses or
exogenous plant growth regulators by undergoing profound morphological and …

Trehalose serves as a stress protectant and/or reserve carbohydrate in a variety of
organisms including bacteria, yeast, and invertebrates. Recently, trace amounts of trehalose …

Polyamines play important roles in diverse plant growth and development processes,
including seed germination, tissue lignification, organogenesis, flowering, pollination …

We have investigated the role of abscisic acid (ABA) in the regulation of polyamine
