The complex juvenile/maturity transition during a plant's life cycle includes growth,
reproduction, and senescence of its fundamental organs: leaves, flowers, and fruits. Growth …

In angiosperms, floral transition is a key developmental transition from the vegetative to
reproductive growth, and requires precise regulation to maximize the reproductive success …

Distribution patterns and finely-tuned concentration gradients of plant hormones govern
plant growth and development. Gibberellin (GA) is a plant hormone regulating key …

Abstract Background The RNA-guided Cas9 system represents a flexible approach for
genome editing in plants. This method can create specific mutations that knock-out or alter …

ABA Insensitive 5 (ABI5) is a basic leucine zipper transcription factor that plays a key role in
the regulation of seed germination and early seedling growth in the presence of ABA and …

Although previous studies have found that melatonin can promote seed germination, the
mechanisms involved in perceiving and signaling melatonin remain poorly understood. In …

The GAs (gibberellins) comprise a large group of diterpenoid carboxylic acids that are
ubiquitous in higher plants, in which certain members function as endogenous growth …

The ability of a seed to germinate and establish a plant at the right time of year is of vital
importance from an ecological and economical point of view. Due to the fragility of these …

Germination is a complex process during which the seed must quickly recover physically
from maturation drying, resume a sustained intensity of metabolism, complete essential …

Bioactive gibberellins (GAs) are diterpene plant hormones that are biosynthesized through
complex pathways and control diverse aspects of growth and development. Biochemical …
