Gibberellin research has its origins in Japan in the 19th century, when a disease of rice was
shown to be due to a fungal infection. The symptoms of the disease including overgrowth of …

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 …

Phytohormones, including auxin, abscisic acid (ABA), cytokinin (CK), ethylene (ET), and
gibberellins (GAs), have been found in a broad spectrum of microalgal lineages. Although …

Bioactive gibberellins (GAs) are diterpene plant hormones that are biosynthesized through
complex pathways and control diverse aspects of growth and development. Biochemical …

Size control of multicellular organisms poses a longstanding biological question that has
always fascinated scientists. Currently the question is far from being resolved because of the …

The identification of most of the genes involved in the metabolic pathways for gibberellin
hormones has helped us to understand these pathways and their regulation. Many of these …

Flowering is controlled by environmental conditions and developmental regulation. The
complexity of this regulation is created by an intricate network of signaling pathways …

The initial step of the plastidic 2C-methyl-d-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway that
produces isopentenyl diphosphate is catalyzed by 1-deoxy-d-xylulose-5-phosphate …

At a certain point in their life cycle, annual plants undergo a major developmental transition
and switch from vegetative to reproductive development. This process is rarely reversible …

Microalgae cultivation is booming in agriculture, aquaculture, and bioenergy sectors. A wide
range of bioactive compounds with attractive properties can be produced with microalgae …
