The phytohormone ethylene impacts secondary stem growth in plants by stimulating cambial
activity, xylem development and fiber over vessel formation. We report the effect of ethylene …

Plant architecture is determined by a subtle balance between growth stimulation and
inhibition conferring optimal plasticity in response to environmental changes. Ethylene is a …

The gaseous hormone ethylene plays a key role in plant growth and development, and it is a
major regulator of stress responses. It inhibits vegetative growth by restricting cell …

Being continuously exposed to variable environmental conditions, plants produce
phytohormones to react quickly and specifically to these changes. The phytohormone …

Cotton fibers are single cells that show a relatively independent developmental process of
cell differentiation, elongation, and secondary wall deposition. Auxin promotes fiber cell …

Cotton is an irreplaceable economic crop currently domesticated in the human world for its
extremely elongated fiber cells specialized in seed epidermis, which makes it of high …

Cotton fiber provides the predominant plant textile in the world, and it is also a model for
plant cell wall biosynthesis. The development of the single-celled cotton fiber takes place …

Ethylene is a multifunctional hormone involved in regulating plant development, conferring
adaptive growth, and responding to biotic/abiotic stresses. Rice is a monocotyledonous crop …

Thickening of tree stems is the result of secondary growth, accomplished by the meristematic
activity of the vascular cambium. Secondary growth of the stem entails developmental …
