Phytohormones regulate numerous important biological processes in plant development
and biotic/abiotic stress response cascades. More than 50 and 100 years have passed since …

Plants are sessile and have to cope with environmentally induced damage through
modification of growth and defense pathways. How tissue regeneration is triggered in such …

Root architecture is a major determinant of plant fitness and is under constant modification in
response to favorable and unfavorable environmental stimuli. Beyond impacts on the …

Plants have developed sophisticated and complex epigenetic regulation-based
mechanisms to maintain stable growth and development under diverse environmental …

Semidwarfing genes have improved crop yield by reducing height, improving lodging
resistance, and allowing plants to allocate more assimilates to grain growth. In wheat …

Primary root growth in cereal crops is fundamental for early establishment of the seedling
and grain yield. In young rice (Oryza sativa) seedlings, the primary root grows rapidly for 7 …

Wood formation is a complex process that involves cell differentiation, cell expansion,
secondary wall deposition, and programmed cell death. We constructed a four-layer wood …

Control over cell growth by mobile regulators underlies much of eukaryotic morphogenesis.
In plant roots, cell division and elongation are separated into distinct longitudinal zones and …

Bioactive gibberellins (GAs) play multiple roles in plant development and stress responses.
GA2-oxidases (GA2oxs) are a class of 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases that …

Abstract UBL-UBA (ubiquitin-like-ubiquitin-associated) proteins are ubiquitin receptors and
transporters in the ubiquitin-proteasome system that play key roles in plant growth and …
