Nitrogen is the main limiting nutrient after carbon, hydrogen and oxygen for photosynthetic
process, phyto-hormonal, proteomic changes and growth-development of plants to complete …

Defense against stress and active suppression of growth are two complementary strategies
by which plants respond to adverse environments. Although beneficial for plant survival …

Direct competition for resources is generally considered the primary mechanism for weed-
induced yield loss. A re-evaluation of physiological evidence suggests weeds initially impact …

Nutrients and energy have emerged as central modulators of developmental programmes in
plants and animals,–. The evolutionarily conserved target of rapamycin (TOR) kinase is a …

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

Plants possess an effective immune system to combat most microbial attackers. The
activation of immune responses to biotrophic pathogens requires the hormone salicylic acid …

Abstract Tre6P (trehalose-6-phosphate) mediates sensing of carbon availability to maintain
sugar homeostasis in plants, which underpins crop yield and resilience. However, how …

Sugars have a central regulatory function in steering plant growth. This review focuses on
information presented in the past 2 years on key players in sugar-mediated plant growth …

Background Productive agriculture needs a large amount of expensive nitrogenous
fertilizers. Improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of crop plants is thus of key importance …

Stay-green (sometimes staygreen) refers to the heritable delayed foliar senescence
character in model and crop plant species. In a cosmetic stay-green, a lesion interferes with …
