An experimental study in peanut identified AhPILS as a gene that regulates lateral-branch growth through asymmetric auxin ...

Salicylic acid is a central regulator of plant growth and immunity, yet key steps in the biosynthesis of its precursors have remained unresolved. Two complementary studies in rice identify the missing ...

Arabidopsis experiments show that MAKR6 links auxin-responsive transcription and receptor-like kinase signalling to PIN1 polarity, auxin-channel formation and vascular regeneration.

Hello. I am Takahiro Ogawa, an agricultural management supporter.In your daily farm work, have you ever faced problems such as 'the internodes are growing too long for some reason,' 'the branches are ...

Auxin is one of the major five plant hormones, mostly present natively as free or conjugated indole-acetic acid (IAA), a tryptophan derivative. Polar auxin transport is tightly regulated, and the ...

The reversible nature of the auxin-mediated loosening of the cell wall is shown by the ability of respiratory inhibitors to cause the loss of the auxin-induced increase in wall extensibility without ...

The effects of auxin on the inhibition of lateral buds in decapitated bean plants are enhanced if kinetin is applied together with auxin. The uptake of 14 C-indoleacetic acid by the stumps of ...

Naturally occurring fungus could help protect wheat from disease – study - Wheat producers in northern Europe are particularly vulnerable to a disease called STB, which can cut wheat yields in half ...

Better branching is something nearly all containerized annuals can benefit from. But don’t think you are stuck with pinching.

The circadian clock—plants' internal timekeeping system—does more than regulate when flowers open or leaves fold. New ...

In contrast, saprotropism relies on a hormone called abscisic acid (ABA). When the plant roots encounter an area acidified by ...
