Gibberellins are produced by all vascular plants and several fungal and bacterial species
that associate with plants as pathogens or symbionts. In the 60 years since the first …

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 …

Environment is an important determinant of agricultural productivity; therefore, crops have
been bred with traits adapted to their environment. It is assumed that the physiology of seed …

Plant phenotypic plasticity is controlled by diverse hormone pathways, which integrate and
convey information from multiple developmental and environmental signals. Moreover, in …

Plants have lived in close association with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi for over 400
million years. Today, this endosymbiosis occurs broadly in the plant kingdom where it has a …

The global agricultural system has been badly affected by adverse environmental changes
in the past few years. These changes, including the rise of abiotic and biotic stressors …

Plants tailor immune responses to defend against pathogens with different lifestyles. In this
process, antagonism between the immune hormones salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid …

Leaf senescence can be triggered and promoted by various environmental stressors,
developmental cues, and endogenous hormone signals. Several lines of evidence have …

The antagonistic crosstalk between gibberellic acid (GA) and abscisic acid (ABA) plays a
pivotal role in the modulation of seed germination. However, the molecular mechanism of …

Abstract The Green Revolution of the 1960s boosted cereal crop yields in part through
widespread adoption of semi-dwarf plant varieties, many of which were later found to have …
