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 have developed the world's first near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent nanosensor capable of real-time, non-destructive and species-agnostic detection of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)—the primary ...

New research appears to answer an old question about how the remarkable hormone Auxin works. Auxin is a sort of super-hormone that is the key to making plants grow. Two scientific teams--one in ...

Tsering et al. show that in pants, HSP90 acts as a positive regulator of auxin transport by providing steady-state levels of ABCB transport capacity in an action that isorchestrated by its ...

Plants lengthen and bend to secure access to sunlight. Despite observing this phenomenon for centuries, scientists do not fully understand it. Now, scientists have discovered that two plant factors -- ...

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 ...

When faced with harsh growing conditions, the energy plants typically expend on growth gets delegated towards a stress response induced by disease, salty soils and extreme weather. And according to a ...

Auxin is the first plant hormone—or "phytohormone"—ever identified, with its discovery dating to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. With its discovery, scientists began to understand how small, ...

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 ...

Malathy Palayam, Aleczander Young, Lior Tal, and Nitzan Shabek at the UC Davis Department of Plant Biology are exploring the mechanism by which the plant hormone strigoractone regulates a massive ...

The research team that developed a biosensor that first recorded that a distinct gradient of the plant growth hormone gibberellin correlated with plant cell size has now revealed how this distribution ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University scientists Natalia Dudareva and Joseph Lynch have been searching for a way to increase a plant’s production of phenylalanine, a compound important for plant ...
