Shoot architecture is determined by the organization and activities of apical, axillary,
intercalary, secondary, and inflorescence meristems and by the subsequent development of …

Many new questions on the regulation of shoot branching have been raised in recent years,
prompting a review and reassessment of the role of each signal involved. Sugars and their …

Plant hormones known as strigolactones control plant development and interactions
between host plants and symbiotic fungi or parasitic weeds,,–. In Arabidopsis thaliana and …

The inhibition of shoot branching by the growing shoot tip of plants, termed apical
dominance, was originally thought to be mediated by auxin. Recently, the importance of the …

MYB transcription factors (TFs) have been reported to regulate the biosynthesis of
secondary metabolites, as well as to mediate plant adaption to abiotic stresses, including …

Strigolactones (SLs), a group of carotenoid derived terpenoid lactones, are root-to-shoot
phytohormones suppressing shoot branching by inhibiting the outgrowth of axillary buds …

In boreal and temperate ecosystems, temperature signal regulates the reactivation of growth
(bud break) in perennials in the spring. Molecular basis of temperature-mediated control of …

Shoot branching is fundamentally important in determining soybean yield. Here, through
genome-wide association study, we identify one predominant association locus on …

Strigolactones are phytohormones that regulate various plant developmental and adaptation
processes. When released into soil, strigolactones act as chemical signals, attracting …

Circadian clocks regulate growth and development in plants and animals, but the role of
circadian regulation in crop production is poorly understood. Rice (Oryza sativa) grain yield …
