Abstract Phytohormones, including jasmonates (JAs), gibberellin, ethylene, abscisic acid,
and auxin, integrate endogenous developmental cues with environmental signals to …

Growth–defense tradeoffs are thought to occur in plants due to resource restrictions, which
demand prioritization towards either growth or defense, depending on external and internal …

Background Jasmonates are important regulators in plant responses to biotic and abiotic
stresses as well as in development. Synthesized from lipid-constituents, the initially formed …

Auxin has always been at the forefront of research in plant physiology and development.
Since the earliest contemplations by Julius von Sachs and Charles Darwin, more than a …

Background Adventitious root (AR) formation in excised plant parts is a bottleneck for
survival of isolated plant fragments. AR formation plays an important ecological role and is a …

Jasmonic acid (JA) is well known to promote lateral root formation but the mechanisms by
which JA signalling is integrated into the pathways responsible for lateral root formation, and …

Maintenance of root growth is essential for plant adaptation to soil drying. Here, we tested
the hypothesis that auxin transport is involved in mediating ABA's modulation by activating …

Interactions between phytohormones play important roles in the regulation of plant growth
and development, but knowledge of the networks controlling hormonal relationships, such …

For millennia, people have cut and joined different plant tissues together through a process
known as grafting. By creating a chimeric organism, desirable properties from two plants …

The tubular-shaped unicellular extensions of plant epidermal cells known as root hairs are
important components of plant roots and play crucial roles in absorbing nutrients and water …
