Background Many plant species can actively reorient their organs in response to dynamic
environmental conditions. Organ movement can be an integral part of plant development or …

Background Cotton fibers provide a powerful model for studying cell differentiation and
elongation. Each cotton fiber is a singular and elongated cell derived from epidermal-layer …

Phytohormones play indispensable roles in plant growth and development. However, the
molecular mechanisms underlying phytohormone-mediated regulation of fiber secondary …

The phytohormone ethylene (ET) is a crucial signaling molecule that induces the
biosynthesis of shikonin and its derivatives in Lithospermum erythrorhizon shoot cultures …

Ethylene (ETH), as a key plant hormone, plays critical roles in various processes of plant
growth and development. ETH has been reported to induce adventitious rooting. Moreover …

Iron (Fe) is an essential microelement but is highly toxic when in excess. The response of
plant roots to Fe toxicity and the nature of the regulatory pathways engaged are poorly …

The plant hormone ethylene regulates growth, development and stress responses. In recent
years, various genomic and proteomic approaches have been initiated to understand both …

Ethylene and gibberellins (GAs) are known to influence plant growth by mutual cross-talk
and by interaction with other hormones. Transcript meta-analysis shows that GA and …

The gaseous phytohormone ethylene participates in the regulation of root growth and
development in Arabidopsis. It is known that root growth inhibition by ethylene involves …

The capacity of conventional breeding to simultaneously improve the yield and quality of
cotton fiber is limited. The accumulation of the plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in …
