Protein kinases are major players in various signal transduction pathways. Understanding
the molecular mechanisms behind plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses has …

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

Chloroplasts are best known for their role in photosynthesis, but they also allow nitrogen and
sulphur assimilation, amino acid, fatty acid, nucleotide and hormone synthesis. How …

Abstract Background and Aims Osmolytes are low-molecular-weight organic solutes, a
broad group that encompasses a variety of compounds such as amino acids, tertiary …

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

Seed germination is controlled by a number of mechanisms and is necessary for the growth
and development of the embryo, resulting in the eventual production of a new plant. Under …

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 …

Mitogens trigger cell division in animals. In plants, cytokinins, a group of phytohormones
derived from adenine, stimulate cell proliferation. Cytokinin signaling is initiated by …

Salicylic acid (SA) is an essential hormone in plant immunity, but its receptor has remained
elusive for decades. The transcriptional coregulator NPR1 is central to the activation of SA …

Cytokinins modulate a number of important developmental processes, including the last
phase of leaf development, known as senescence, which is associated with chlorophyll …
