Abiotic stress in plants is an increasingly common problem in agriculture, and thus, studies
on plant treatments with specific compounds that may help to mitigate these effects have …

The root system is a major determinant of a plant's access to water and nutrients. The
architecture of the root system to a large extent depends on the repeated formation of new …

The developmental plasticity of plants relies on the remarkable ability of the meristems to
integrate nutrient and energy availability with environmental signals. Meristems in root and …

Despite growing underground, largely in darkness, roots emerge to be very sensitive to light.
Recently, several important papers have been published which reveal that plant roots not …

In plants, melatonin is a potent bioactive molecule involved in the response against various
biotic and abiotic stresses. However, little is known of its defensive role against high light …

Plant growth and productivity are orchestrated by a network of signaling cascades involved
in balancing responses to perceived environmental changes with resource availability …

The root is the below-ground organ of a plant, and it has evolved multiple signaling
pathways that allow adaptation of architecture, growth rate, and direction to an ever …

UV-B radiation is an important part of the electromagnetic spectrum emitted by the sun. For
much of the period of biological evolution organisms have been exposed to UV radiation …

Light from the sun contains far-red, visible and ultra violet (UV) wavelength regions. Almost
all plant species have been evolved under the light environment. Interestingly, several …

Roots are sensors evolved to simultaneously respond to manifold signals, which allow the
plant to survive. Root growth responses, including the modulation of directional root growth …
