Modern herbicides make major contributions to global food production by easily removing
weeds and substituting for destructive soil cultivation. However, persistent herbicide …

Plants, like other eukaryotes, rely on proteolysis to control the abundance of key regulatory
proteins and enzymes. Strikingly, genome-wide studies have revealed that the ubiquitin-26S …

The plant hormone auxin has crucial roles in almost all aspects of plant growth and
development. Concentrations of auxin vary across different tissues, mediating distinct …

The plant hormone auxin regulates virtually every aspect of plant growth and development.
Auxin acts by binding the F-box protein transport inhibitor response 1 (TIR1) and promotes …

The plant hormones are a structurally unrelated collection of small molecules derived from
various essential metabolic pathways. These compounds are important regulators of plant …

Adventitious rooting (AR) is a multifactorial response leading to new roots at the base of
stem cuttings, and the establishment of a complete and autonomous plant. AR has two main …

Plant growth and development is regulated by a structurally unrelated collection of small
molecules called plant hormones. During the last 15 years the number of known plant …

Auxin is a plant hormone involved in an extraordinarily broad variety of biological
mechanisms. These range from basic cellular processes, such as endocytosis, cell polarity …

Background Lateral roots are formed at regular intervals along the main root by recurrent
specification of founder cells. To date, the mechanism by which branching of the root system …

The posttranslational addition of ubiquitin (Ub) helps control the half-life, localization, and
action of many intracellular plant proteins. A primary function is the degradation of …
