The plant hormone auxin drives plant growth and morphogenesis. The levels and
distribution of the active auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) are tightly controlled through …

The phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) is a small phenolic compound that regulates diverse
physiological processes, in particular plant resistance against pathogens. Understanding SA …

Vegetative shoot-based propagation of plants, including mass propagation of elite
genotypes, is dependent on the development of shoot-borne roots, which are also called …

The development of lateral roots (LR) is known to be severely inhibited by salt or osmotic
stress. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying LR development in osmotic/salt …

Phytohormones are not only essential for plant growth and development but also play
central roles in triggering the plant immune signaling network. Historically, research aimed …

Membrane proteins are essential to move amino acids in or out of plant cells as well as
between organelles. While many putative amino acid transporters have been identified …

The phytohormone auxin has been known to be a regulator of plant growth and
development ever since its discovery. Recent studies on plant–pathogen interactions …

The spermatophyte root system is composed of a primary root that develops from an
embryonically formed root meristem, and of different post-embryonic root types: lateral and …

Clonally reproducing plants have the potential to bear a significantly greater mutational load
than sexually reproducing species. To investigate this possibility, we examined the breadth …

Auxin represents a key signal in plants, regulating almost every aspect of their growth and
development. Major breakthroughs have been made dissecting the molecular basis of auxin …
