Flavonols are plant-specialized metabolites with important functions in plant growth and
development. Isolation and characterization of mutants with reduced flavonol levels …

Flavonoids are small molecular secondary metabolites synthesized by plants with various
biological activities. Due to their physical and biochemical properties, they are capable of …

Auxin is a major phytohormone that controls numerous aspects of plant development and
coordinates plant responses to the environment. Morphogenic gradients of auxin govern cell …

The ATP‐binding cassette (ABC) transporters belong to a large protein family predominantly
present in diverse species. ABC transporters are driven by ATP hydrolysis and can act as …

Under the natural environment, nutrient signals interact with phytohormones to coordinate
and reprogram plant growth and survival. Sugars are important molecules that control …

Grain size is one of the most important factors that control rice yield, as it is associated with
grain weight (GW). To date, dozens of rice genes that regulate grain size have been …

Terrestrial plants have two to four times more ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter genes
than other organisms, including their ancestral microalgae. Recent studies found that plants …

Phenylpropanoids, particularly flavonoids have been recently suggested as playing primary
antioxidant functions in the responses of plants to a wide range of abiotic stresses …

Long before its chemical identity was known, the phytohormone auxin was postulated to
regulate plant growth. In the late 1800s, Sachs hypothesized that plant growth regulators …

Flavonoids have long been recognized as playing multiple roles in the responses of higher
plants to a wide range of environmental constraints (Winkel-Shirley, 2002; Roberts & Paul …
