Cellular metabolism is at the foundation of all biological activities. The catabolic processes
that support cellular bioenergetics and survival have been well studied. By contrast, how …

Ethylene is a gaseous phytohormone and the first of this hormone class to be discovered. It
is the simplest olefin gas and is biosynthesized by plants to regulate plant development …

The phytohormone cytokinin plays diverse roles in plant development, influencing many
agriculturally important processes, including growth, nutrient responses and the response to …

The phytohormones auxin and cytokinin interact to regulate many plant growth and
developmental processes. Elements involved in the biosynthesis, inactivation, transport …

The plant hormone ethylene plays a key role in climacteric fruit ripening. Studies on
components of ethylene signaling have revealed a linear transduction pathway leading to …

Cytokinins are N 6 substituted adenine derivatives that affect many aspects of plant growth
and development, including cell division, shoot initiation and growth, leaf senescence …

In some horticultural crops, such as Cucurbitaceae, Solanaceae, and Rosaceae species,
fruit set and development can occur without the fertilization of ovules, a process known as …

To exist in a wide range of environmental niches, bacteria must sense and respond to a
variety of external signals. A primary means by which this occurs is through two-component …

In plants, the cytokinin (CK) phytohormones regulate numerous biological processes,
including responses to environmental stresses, via a complex network of CK signaling. By …

An appropriate response and adaptation to hyperosmolarity, ie., an external osmolarity that
is higher than the physiological range, can be a matter of life or death for all cells. It is …
