Climate change has exacerbated the effects of abiotic stresses on plant growth and
productivity. Drought is one of the most important abiotic stress factors that interfere with …

Mechanical signals play many roles in cell and developmental biology. Several
mechanotransduction pathways have been uncovered, but the mechanisms identified so far …

Auxin is a major phytohormone that controls numerous aspects of plant development and
coordinates plant responses to the environment. Morphogenic gradients of auxin govern cell …

The establishment of beneficial interactions with microbes has helped plants to modulate
root branching plasticity in response to environmental cues. However, how the plant …

Ethylene is a gaseous plant growth hormone that regulates various plant developmental
processes, ranging from seed germination to senescence. The mechanisms underlying …

Soil compaction is a global problem causing inadequate rooting and poor yield in crops.
Accumulating evidence indicates that phytohormones coordinately regulate root growth via …

Highlights•Nitrate modulates hormonal pathways to adapt plant biology to environmental
cues.•Hormones participate in local and systemic nitrogen signaling to regulate root and …

Plant epidermal cell walls maintain the mechanical integrity of plants and restrict organ
growth. Mechanical analyses can give insights into wall structure and are inputs for …

Flooded plants experience impaired gas diffusion underwater, leading to oxygen deprivation
(hypoxia). The volatile plant hormone ethylene is rapidly trapped in submerged plant cells …

EIN3/EIL1 transcription factors are the key regulators of ethylene signaling that sustain a
variety of plant responses to ethylene. Since ethylene regulates multiple aspects of plant …
