It has been several decades since Skoog and Miller described the contrasting behavior of
auxin and cytokinin in promoting the growth of root and shoot, respectively [1]. In recent …

The plant hormone auxin regulates a whole repertoire of plant growth and development.
Many plant-associated microorganisms, by virtue of their auxin production capability …

Although the plant growth hormone auxin has long been recognized as a regulator of plant
defense, the molecular mechanisms involved are still largely unknown. Recent studies …

Plants deploy a finely tuned balance between growth and defence responses for better
fitness. Crosstalk between defence signalling hormones such as salicylic acid (SA) and …

The phytohormone auxin has been known to be a regulator of plant growth and
development ever since its discovery. Recent studies on plant–pathogen interactions …

The plant hormone auxin governs many aspects of normal plant growth and development.
Auxin also plays an important role in plant–microbe interactions, including interactions …

Recent studies have revealed an important role for hormones in plant immunity. We are now
beginning to understand the contribution of crosstalk among different hormone signaling …

The hormones auxin and cytokinin are essential for plant growth and development. Because
of the central importance of root and shoot apical meristems in plant growth, auxin/cytokinin …

Plant pathogens have evolved several strategies to manipulate the biology of their hosts to
facilitate colonization, growth to high levels in plant tissue, and production of disease. One of …

Cytokinins are essential plant hormones that control almost every aspect of plant growth and
development. Their function in mediating plant susceptibility to fungal biotrophs and gall …
