The major natural auxin in plants, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), orchestrates a plethora of
developmental responses that largely depend on the formation of auxin concentration …

It has been a dominant dogma in plant biology that the self-organizing polar auxin transport
system is necessary and sufficient to generate auxin maxima and minima that are essential …

The persistent triploid endosperms of cereal crops are the most important source of human
food and animal feed. The development of cereal endosperms progresses through …

Auxin plays important roles during the entire life span of a plant. This small organic acid
influences cell division, cell elongation and cell differentiation, and has great impact on the …

Grain size is one of the most important factors determining rice yield. As a quantitative trait,
grain size is predominantly and tightly controlled by genetic factors. Several quantitative trait …

Auxin is an important plant hormone essential for many aspects of plant growth and
development. Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is the most studied auxin in plants, and its …

Abstract lndole-3-acetic acid (IAA), the most important natural auxin in plants, is mainly
synthesized from the amino acid tryptophan (Trp). Recent genetic and biochemical studies …

Plants undergo several developmental transitions during their life cycle. One of these, the
differentiation of the young embryo from a meristem‐like structure into a highly specialized …

The expansion of gene families during evolution could generate functional diversity among
their members to regulate plant growth and development. Melatonin, a phylogenetically …

The seed represents the unit of reproduction of flowering plants, capable of developing into
another plant, and to ensure the survival of the species under unfavorable environmental …
