Strigolactones (SLs), initially reported as germination stimulants for Striga lutea were later
described for their role in Phelipanche and Orobanche species. SLs were reported in major …

Covering: up to November 2022 Plants shape terrestrial ecosystems through physical and
chemical interactions. Plant-derived volatile organic compounds in particular influence the …

Sun-loving plants trigger the shade avoidance syndrome (SAS) to compete against their
neighbors for sunlight. Phytochromes are plant red (R) and far-red (FR) light photoreceptors …

In response to jasmonates (JAs), the JA receptor Coronatine Insensitive 1 (COI1) recruits JA‐
zinc‐finger inflorescence meristem (ZIM)‐domain (JAZ) family repressors for destruction to …

For shade‐intolerant plants, changes in light quality through competition from neighbors
trigger shade avoidance syndrome (SAS): a series of morphological and physiological …

Seed germination is a critical step in the life cycle of plants controlled by the phytohormones
abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellin (GA), and by phytochromes, an important class of …

Herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) are critical compounds that directly or indirectly
regulate the tritrophic interactions among herbivores, natural enemies and plants. The …

The production of defensive metabolites in plants can be induced by signaling chemicals
released by neighboring plants. Induction is mainly known from volatile aboveground …

The ratio of red light to far‐red light (R: FR) is perceived by light receptors and consequently
regulates plant architecture. Regulation of shoot branching by R: FR ratio involves plant …

Low‐light stress compromises photosynthetic and energy efficiency and leads to spikelet
sterility; however, the effect of low‐light stress on pollen tube elongation in the pistil remains …
