Malathy Palayam, Aleczander Young, Lior Tal, and Nitzan Shabek at the UC Davis Department of Plant Biology are exploring the mechanism by which the plant hormone strigoractone regulates a massive ...

Which plant hormones are critical in responding to drought conditions? How do plant hormone responses adjust to environmental changes? An article published in the journal Trends in Plant Science ...

Around 4,000 to 5,000 plants are parasites. Most parasitic plants use an organ, named haustorium, to attach to and penetrate host plants to obtain water and nutrients. Some parasitic plants, such as ...

A study reviews the classification and functions of all known groups of plant hormones in the plant world, which are key molecules in plant life and have diverse applications in agriculture and plant ...

Advanced bioengineering of plant hormone receptors may lead to controlling complex genetic circuits in living cells, according to new research by Associate Professor Timothy Whitehead and his partners ...

Researchers have discovered a new role for a well-known plant molecule, providing the first clear example of ACC acting as a likely plant hormone. Researchers show that ACC has a critical role in ...

Researchers at Wageningen University & Research (WUR), working in close collaboration with KeyGene, have developed a method that enables plant cells to regenerate into complete plants without the need ...

A new method uses the auxin-inducible degron (AID) system to tune protein levels with precision in living C. elegans.

As sessile organisms, plants have to continually adapt their growth and architecture to the ever-changing environment. To do so, plants have evolved distinct molecular mechanisms to sense and respond ...
