Gibberellin research has its origins in Japan in the 19th century, when a disease of rice was
shown to be due to a fungal infection. The symptoms of the disease including overgrowth of …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated inevitably in the redox reactions of plants,
including respiration and photosynthesis. In earlier studies, ROS were considered as toxic …

The GAs (gibberellins) comprise a large group of diterpenoid carboxylic acids that are
ubiquitous in higher plants, in which certain members function as endogenous growth …

Sexual reproduction is a fundamental aspect of life. It is defined by the occurrence of meiosis
and the fusion of two gametes of different sexes or mating types. Sex-determination …

Gibberellins (GAs) are natural complex biomolecules initially identified as secondary
metabolites in the fungus Gibberella fujikuroi with strong implications in plant physiology …

Transmembrane transport of plant hormones is required for plant growth and development.
Despite reports of a number of proteins that can transport the plant hormone gibberellin …

Stamens are the plant male reproductive organs essential for plant fertility. Proper
development of stamens is modulated by environmental cues and endogenous hormone …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a collective term for diverse processes causing an actively
