Temperature is a key factor governing the growth and development, distribution, and
seasonal behavior of plants. The entire plant life cycle is affected by environmental …

The major natural auxin in plants, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), orchestrates a plethora of
developmental responses that largely depend on the formation of auxin concentration …

Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) shows remarkably rapid growth (114.5 cm/day), but the
underlying biological mechanisms remain unclear. After examining more than 12,750 …

Plants are exposed to an ever-changing environment to which they have to adjust
accordingly. Their response is tightly regulated by complex signaling pathways that all start …

Plants are responsive to temperature, and some species can distinguish differences of 1° C.
In Arabidopsis, warmer temperature accelerates flowering and increases elongation growth …

Cold stress has always been a significant limitation for plant development and causes
substantial decreases in crop yield. Some temperate plants, such as Arabidopsis, have the …

The size of plant organs is highly responsive to environmental conditions. The plant's
embryonic stem, or hypocotyl, displays phenotypic plasticity, in response to light and …

Climate change is multi-faceted, and includes changing concentrations of greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere, rising temperatures, changes in precipitation patterns, and …

When exposed to warmer, nonstressful average temperatures, some plant organs grow and
develop at a faster rate without affecting their final dimensions. Other plant organs show …

Plants are exposed to a variety of abiotic stresses; these stresses have profound effects on
plant growth, survival, and productivity. Tolerance and adaptation to stress require …
