Phenylpropanoid metabolism is one of the most important metabolisms in plants, yielding
more than 8,000 metabolites contributing to plant development and plant–environment …

Flavonols are plant-specialized metabolites with important functions in plant growth and
development. Isolation and characterization of mutants with reduced flavonol levels …

Grain size is an important component trait of grain yield, which is frequently threatened by
abiotic stress. However, little is known about how grain yield and abiotic stress tolerance are …

Strigolactones are a structurally diverse class of plant hormones that control many aspects of
shoot and root growth. Strigolactones are also exuded by plants into the rhizosphere, where …

Plant growth and development are critically influenced by unpredictable abiotic factors. To
survive fluctuating changes in their environments, plants have had to develop robust …

The rhizosphere encompasses the millimeters of soil surrounding a plant root where
complex biological and ecological processes occur. This review describes recent advances …

Microorganisms are found everywhere, and they are closely associated with plants.
Because the establishment of any plant–microbe association involves chemical …

Flavonoids have long been recognized as playing multiple roles in the responses of higher
plants to a wide range of environmental constraints (Winkel-Shirley, 2002; Roberts & Paul …

Background The phytohormone auxin is critical for plant growth and orchestrates many
developmental processes.• Scope This review considers the complex array of mechanisms …

In this study, the role of the recently identified class of phytohormones, strigolactones, in
shaping root architecture was addressed. Primary root lengths of strigolactone-deficient and …
