A pivotal study reveals how auxin and sucrose metabolism regulate bulbil initiation in Lilium lancifolium. By manipulating auxin levels and examining key sucrose metabolism genes, researchers found ...
Plants respond to mild nitrogen deficiency by elongating their lateral roots. In this way, more nitrogen can be absorbed than before. Researchers have now discovered a hormonal regulatory module that ...
The AUXIN RESPONSE FACTORs (ARFs) and the Aux/IAA proteins regulate various auxin responses through auxin perception mediated by the F-box proteins TIR1/AFBs. ARFs are transcription factors that ...
Auxin is a hormone crucial in nearly every aspect of plant growth and development. Advancing our understanding of auxin signaling in maize and other crop plants may provide needed tools for ...
Rice roots change their cell walls to move through soil. This helps the plant stay alive in tough fields and may support crop breeding.
