Microbial factories provide a sustainable alternative to tree sap for producing elusive plant molecules, offering new insights into plant development. Plant SLs serve two roles: canonical ones act as ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 2. The intricate interplay of plant hormones is pivotal in regulating various aspects of plant growth and development, from seed ...

Researchers at the University of Maryland (UMD) have discovered an entirely new role for a well-known plant molecule called ACC, providing the first clear example of ACC acting on its own as a likely ...

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 can defend against disease, but their growth is stunted when their immune systems are triggered. That’s a problem if the plant is raised for food. CSU researchers have discovered how to turn on ...

In contrast to previous assumptions, the defense hormones salicylic acid and jasmonic acid do not always suppress each other in regulating plant chemical defenses against pests and pathogens. In trees ...

We’ve come to realize that as walking sacks of bacteria, the tiny microogranisms living in our gut actually have quite a lot of control over us. But the bacteria themselves are in turn influenced by ...

TWELVE years ago Avery and Burkholder, with other collaborators, translated "Die Wuchstoff-theorie" (Boysen–Jensen) and published a very useful introductory account of "Growth Hormones in Plants" ...

Researchers have discovered a new role for a well-known plant molecule, providing the first clear example of ACC acting as a likely plant hormone. Researchers show that ACC has a critical role in ...
