The phytohormone cytokinin was originally discovered as a regulator of cell division. Later, it
was described to be involved in regulating numerous processes in plant growth and …

The phytobiome is composed of plants, their environment, and diverse interacting
microscopic and macroscopic organisms, which together influence plant health and …

One-step and two-step pathways are proposed to synthesize cytokinin in plants. The one-
step pathway is mediated by LONELY GUY (LOG) proteins. However, the enzyme for the two …

There is a growing appreciation for the important roles microorganisms play in association
with plants. Microorganisms are drawn to distinct plant surfaces by the nutrient-rich …

Plants are constantly threatened by potential pathogens. In order to optimize the output of
defense against pathogens with distinct lifestyles, plants depend on hormonal networks to …

Terpenoids display chemical and structural diversities as well as important biological
activities. Despite their extreme variability, the range of these structures is limited by the …

At the colonization site of a foreign entity, plant cells alter their trajectory of growth and
development. The resulting structure–a plant gall–accommodates various needs of the …

Cell death is a vital process for multicellular organisms. Programmed cell death (PCD)
