An international research team investigated the genetic regulation of stem cell division in plant stems. During their investigations, they revealed that the key gene coordinating stem cells, WOX4, is ...

A study reviews the classification and functions of all known groups of plant hormones in the plant world, which are key molecules in plant life and have diverse applications in agriculture and plant ...

Plants fine-tune the response of their cells to the potent plant hormone auxin by means of large families of proteins that either step on the gas or put on the brake in auxin’s presence. Scientists ...

A new synthetic hormone promises to tease apart the many different roles of the plant hormone auxin and could lead to a new way to ripen fruit. A lab-designed hormone may unlock mysteries harbored by ...

Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 69, No. 2, Special Issue: Recent Advances in Auxin Biology (2018), pp. 201-212 (12 pages) Being sessile organisms, plants have evolved mechanisms allowing them to ...
