Plant hormones are signalling compounds that regulate crucial aspects of growth,
development and environmental stress responses. Abiotic stresses, such as drought …

Sumoylation is an essential post-translational modification that is catalysed by a small
number of modifying enzymes but regulates thousands of target proteins in a dynamic …

Abiotic stresses increasingly threaten existing ecological and agricultural systems across the
globe. Plant roots perceive these stresses in the soil and adapt their architecture …

Crop loss due to soil salinization is an increasing threat to agriculture worldwide. This review
provides an overview of cellular and physiological mechanisms in plant responses to salt …

The root: shoot ratio has long been known to be enhanced in plants under drought stress.
Here we discovered that osmotic stress enhances long-distance sucrose transport to …

We present unresolved questions in plant abiotic stress biology as posed by 15 research
groups with expertise spanning eco-physiology to cell and molecular biology. Common …

The current trajectory for crop yields is insufficient to nourish the world's population by 2050.
Greater and more consistent crop production must be achieved against a backdrop of …

In plants, most developmental programs depend on the action of auxin. The best described
model of the auxin signaling pathway, which explains most, but not all, of the auxin …

In order to optimally establish their root systems, plants are endowed with several
mechanisms to use at distinct steps during their development. In this review, we zoom in on …

To overcome nitrogen deficiencies in the soil, legumes enter symbioses with rhizobial
bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonium. Rhizobia are accommodated as …
