Plants and animals utilize various regulatory mechanisms for control of gene expression
during development in different tissues and cell types. About 30 years ago, a new …

The indole-3-pyruvic acid (IPA) pathway is the main auxin biosynthesis pathway in the plant
kingdom. Local control of auxin biosynthesis through this pathway regulates plant growth …

In response to jasmonates (JAs), the JA receptor Coronatine Insensitive 1 (COI1) recruits JA‐
zinc‐finger inflorescence meristem (ZIM)‐domain (JAZ) family repressors for destruction to …

NF-Y transcription factors are known to play many diverse roles in the development and
physiological responses of plants but little is known about their role in plant defense. Here …

As sessile organisms, plants have to deal with unfavourable conditions by acclimating or
adapting in order to survive. Regulation of flower induction is one such mechanism to …

Drought represents a major threat to plants in natural ecosystems and agricultural settings.
The biostimulant Super Fifty (SF), produced from the brown alga Ascophyllum nodosum …

Plants substantially alter their developmental programme upon changes in the ambient
temperature. The 21–24 nt small RNAs (sRNAs) are important gene expression regulators …

Summary● Nitrogen‐fixing nodulation occurs in 10 taxonomic lineages, with either rhizobia
or Frankia bacteria. To establish such an endosymbiosis, two processes are essential …

As a major worldwide root crop, the mechanism underlying storage root yield formation has
always been a hot topic in sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.]. Previously, we …

Abstract Background and Aims Auxin response factors (ARFs) as transcription activators or
repressors have important roles in plant growth and development, but knowledge about the …
