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

TWELVE years ago Avery and Burkholder, with other collaborators, translated "Die Wuchstoff-theorie" (Boysen–Jensen) and published a very useful introductory account of "Growth Hormones in Plants" ...

The research team that developed a biosensor that first recorded that a distinct gradient of the plant growth hormone gibberellin correlated with plant cell size has now revealed how this distribution ...

The plant growth hormone auxin is controlled by circadian rhythms within the plant, UC Davis researchers have found. The discovery explains how plants can time their growth to take advantage of ...

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 ...

The article redefines and classifies the functions of the 10 groups of plant hormones identified to date in the plant world, ...

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 ...

A trade-off between growth and defence functions is commonly observed in plants. We propose that the association of plants with Epichloë fungal endophytes may eliminate this trade-off. This would be a ...

From willow bark remedies to aspirin tablets, salicylic acid has long been part of human health. It also lies at the heart of ...

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 ...

In his botanical laboratory at the University of Chicago, Professor George Konrad Karl Link recently made a discovery which he considered so noteworthy that he sent a report of it all the way to ...
