New research from an international team of plant biologists, led by researchers at the VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology, has revealed crucial insights into the role ...

As sessile organisms, plants rely on their ability to adapt the development and growth of their roots in response to changing nutrient conditions. One such response, known to be displayed by plants ...

Steroids are important hormones for regulation of gene expression and development in both animals and plants. Unlike animal steroid hormones, which directly bind to nuclear receptor transcription ...

Plant biologists have been working for years to nail down the series of chemical signals that one class of plant hormones, brassinosteroids, send from a protein on the surface of a cell to the nucleus ...

Leaf senescence, the final developmental stage of plant leaves, involves chlorophyll breakdown and nutrient redistribution, directly affecting the postharvest quality of leafy vegetables. In crops ...

When you are reading this article, there are multiple hormones working diligently inside your body to stabilize your health status. Same as human beings, it is impossible for plants to grow and ...

In a discovery that could pave the way to higher crop and biomass productivity, scientists from RIKEN in Japan, along with colleagues from the University of Tokyo, have shed new light on the complex ...
