Plant hormones are signalling compounds that regulate crucial aspects of growth,
development and environmental stress responses. Abiotic stresses, such as drought …

Abiotic stresses increasingly threaten existing ecological and agricultural systems across the
globe. Plant roots perceive these stresses in the soil and adapt their architecture …

Abscisic acid (ABA) regulates various aspects of plant physiology, including promoting seed
dormancy and adaptive responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. In addition, ABA plays an …

Ensuring food security for an ever-growing global population while adapting to climate
change is the main challenge for agriculture in the 21st century. Although new technologies …

When plants face an environmental stress such as water deficit, soil salinity, high
temperature, or shade, good communication between above-and belowground organs is …

Among different abiotic stresses, drought stress is the leading cause of impaired plant
growth and low productivity worldwide. It is therefore essential to understand the process of …

The effects of abscisic acid (ABA) on plant growth, development, and response to the
environment depend on local ABA concentrations. Here, we show that in Arabidopsis, ABA …

Frequent and intense drought episodes impact agricultural productivity by challenging plant
water status. The maintenance of hydraulic conductivity plays a key role in deciphering …

The growth of multicellular organisms relies on cell proliferation, elongation and
differentiation that are tightly regulated throughout development by internal and external …

Plant vascular development is a complex process culminating in the generation of xylem
and phloem, the plant transporting conduits. Xylem and phloem arise from specialized stem …
