Dramatic accumulation of proline is a common physiological response in plants exposed to
various abiotic stresses. Accumulation of proline could be due to de novo synthesis …

Root system architecture is an important determinant of below-ground resource capture and
hence overall plant fitness. The plant hormone auxin plays a central role in almost every …

Glycine betaine (GB) and proline are two major organic osmolytes that accumulate in a
variety of plant species in response to environmental stresses such as drought, salinity …

Humic substances (HS) represent the organic material mainly widespread in nature. HS
have positive effects on plant physiology by improving soil structure and fertility and by …

Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4‐D) was the first synthetic herbicide to be commercially
developed and has commonly been used as a broadleaf herbicide for over 60 years. It is a …

Background Tomato fruit ripening is controlled by ethylene and is characterized by a shift in
color from green to red, a strong accumulation of lycopene, and a decrease in β …

In contrast to climacteric fruits, where ethylene is known to be pivotal, the regulation of
ripening in non-climacteric fruits is not well understood. In the non-climacteric strawberry …

In plants, the hormone auxin shapes gene expression to regulate growth and development.
Despite the detailed characterization of auxin-inducible genes, a comprehensive overview …

Recently, emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has emerged as a mode of
communication between bacteria and plants. Although some bacterial VOCs that promote …

It is widely reported that some humic substances behave as exogenous auxins influencing
root growth by mechanisms that are not yet completely understood. This study explores the …
