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

The striking capacity for plants to adapt their growth and development to an ever-changing environment is mediated by diverse plant hormones that regulate virtually every aspect of plant life. In the ...

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

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue scientists got a glimpse into more than 450 million years of evolution by tracing the function of a hormone pathway that has been passed along and co-opted by new species ...

Purdue scientists got a glimpse into more than 450 million years of evolution by tracing the function of a hormone pathway that has been passed along and co-opted by new species since the first plants ...

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 ...

Plant Physiology, Vol. 138, No. 3 (Jul., 2005), pp. 1469-1480 (12 pages) Perhaps the most obvious phenotypes associated with chemical signaling between plants are manifested by parasitic species of ...

In their quest for the origin of the universal auxin hormone in plants, biochemists and bioinformaticists took on the mantle of archaeologists. Deep in the evolutionary history of plant life on earth, ...

The length of the Arabidopsis thaliana life cycle depends on the timing of the floral transition. Here, we define the relationship between the plant stress hormone ethylene and the timing of floral ...

Plant scientists have discovered that the plant hormone jasmonic acid -- known as a signalling molecule after herbivory -- not only regulates flower development in the bud stage, but also triggers ...
