Auxin participates in a multitude of developmental processes, as well as responses to
environmental cues. Compared with other plant hormones, auxin exhibits a unique property …

Auxin is arguably the most important signaling molecule in plants, and the last few decades
have seen remarkable breakthroughs in understanding its production, transport, and …

Auxin regulates a vast array of growth and developmental processes throughout the life
cycle of plants. Auxin responses are highly context dependent and can involve changes in …

Auxin has always been at the forefront of research in plant physiology and development.
Since the earliest contemplations by Julius von Sachs and Charles Darwin, more than a …

Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), the main auxin in higher plants, has profound effects on plant
growth and development. Both plants and some plant pathogens can produce IAA to …

Shoot branching is a highly plastic developmental process in which axillary buds are formed
in the axil of each leaf and may subsequently be activated to give branches. Three classes …

The development of the plant root system is highly plastic, which allows the plant to adapt to
various environmental stresses. Salt stress inhibits root elongation by reducing the size of …

Plants exhibit a unique developmental flexibility to ever-changing environmental conditions.
To achieve their profound adaptability, plants are able to maintain permanent stem cell …

Grain size is one of the key factors determining grain yield. However, it remains largely
unknown how grain size is regulated by developmental signals. Here, we report the …

Plants interact with root microbes via chemical signaling, which modulates competence or
symbiosis. Although several volatile organic compounds (VOC s) from fungi may affect plant …
