New research appears to answer an old question about how the remarkable hormone Auxin works. Auxin is a sort of super-hormone that is the key to making plants grow. Two scientific teams--one in ...

Auxin, a pivotal plant hormone, orchestrates a wide range of developmental processes including cell division, elongation, organ formation and responses to environmental stimuli. Its signalling ...

Tsering et al. show that in pants, HSP90 acts as a positive regulator of auxin transport by providing steady-state levels of ABCB transport capacity in an action that isorchestrated by its ...

Auxin is the first plant hormone—or "phytohormone"—ever identified, with its discovery dating to the late 19 th and early 20 th centuries. With its discovery, scientists began to understand how small, ...

Scientists have uncovered how the plant hormone auxin helps roots bend and downwards towards gravity – a process called gravitropism - even after encountering obstacles in soil.

Plants have a remarkable capacity to adjust their growth and development to elevated ambient temperatures. Increased elongation growth of roots, hypocotyls, and petioles in warm temperatures are ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract • The plant hormone auxin is a key factor for regulation of plant development, and this function was probably reinforced during the evolution ...

An international team of scientists has unraveled the mysterious relationship between gravity, and the growth trajectories of plant roots.

Which plant hormones are critical in responding to drought conditions? How do plant hormone responses adjust to environmental ...

Light plays a fundamental role in the growth and development of plants. It serves as an essential energy source for photosynthesis and also influences various physiological processes, including seed ...

Understanding a plant’s roots, shoots and growth habits increases the likelihood of success with vegetative reproduction.
