Under natural conditions, plants constantly encounter various biotic and abiotic factors,
which can potentially restrict plant growth and development and even limit crop productivity …

Abstract ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL5 (HY5), a member of the bZIP transcription factor
family, inhibits hypocotyl growth and lateral root development, and promotes pigment …

Epigenetic marks are reprogrammed in the gametes to reset genomic potential in the next
generation. In mammals, paternal chromatin is extensively reprogrammed through the …

Light is crucial for plant life, and perception of the light environment dictates plant growth,
morphology, and developmental changes. Such adjustments in growth and development in …

In most abiotic stress conditions, including salinity and water deficit, the developmental
plasticity of the plant root is regulated by the phytohormone auxin. Changes in auxin …

By definition, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) includes wavelengths between 400
and 700 nm and thus, far-red radiation (FR, 700–800 nm) is excluded when the …

Auxin plays essential roles in plant normal growth and development. The auxin signaling
pathway relies on the auxin gradient within tissues and cells, which is facilitated by both …

In response to elevated ambient temperature Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings display a
thermomorphogenic response that includes elongation of hypocotyls and petioles …

When exposed to changes in the light environment caused by neighboring vegetation,
shade-avoiding plants modify their growth and/or developmental patterns to access more …

Light is a vital resource for plants, which compete for it particularly in dense communities.
Plants have multiple photosensory receptors to detect the presence of competitors and …
