Hormones have been at the centre of plant physiology research for more than a century.
Research into plant hormones (phytohormones) has at times been considered as a rather …

A molecular approach to investigate auxin signaling in plants has led to the identification of
several classes of early/primary auxin response genes. Within the promoters of these genes …

Abstract Background Most genes in Arabidopsis thaliana are members of gene families.
How do the members of gene families arise, and how are gene family copy numbers …

The plant hormone auxin is central in many aspects of plant development. Previous studies
have implicated the ubiquitin-ligase SCFTIR1 and the AUX/IAA proteins in auxin response …

In addition to their essential roles as substrates in carbon and energy metabolism and in
polymer biosynthesis, sugars have important hormone-like functions as primary messengers …

Dramatic advances in our understanding of auxin signal-response pathways have been
made in recent years. Much of this new knowledge has come through the study of mutants in …

Under appropriate in vivo or in vitro conditions, certain somatic plant cells have the
capability to initiate embryogenic development (somatic embryogenesis). Somatic …

Plant protoplasts show physiological perceptions and responses to hormones, metabolites,
environmental cues, and pathogen-derived elicitors, similar to cell-autonomous responses …

Xie and colleagues previously isolated the Arabidopsis COI1 gene that is required for
response to jasmonates (JAs), which regulate root growth, pollen fertility, wound healing …

Extracellularly secreted plant peroxidases (POXs) are considered to catalyze the generation
of reactive oxygen species (ROS) coupled to oxidation of plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid …
