Our environment constantly undergoes changes either natural or manmade affecting growth
and development of all the organisms including plants. Plants are sessile in nature and …

Legumes form symbiotic associations with either nitrogen-fixing bacteria or arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi. Formation of these two symbioses is regulated by a common set of …

Endosymbiosis interactions allow plants to grow in nutrient-deficient soil environments. The
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is an ancestral interaction between land plants and …

Plant-specific GRAS transcription factors play important roles in regulating growth,
development, and stress responses. Castor beans (Ricinus communis) are important non …

Plant roots, as underground structures, are hidden from view, difficult to work with and
therefore typically understudied, especially in agricultural research. In addition to providing …

Integrated nutrient management with biological and chemical fertilizers can improve rice
(Oryza sativa L.) productivity, bio-fortification, soil health and fertility. Accordingly, this study …

Winter damage, especially in northern climates, is a major limitation of the utilization of
perennial forages such as alfalfa. Therefore, improving freezing tolerance is imperative in …

Background and aims Our recent research revealed that several key enzymes involved in
flavonoid biosynthesis played vital roles in soybean's tolerance to salinity. Since the …

Strigolactones (SLs) are a group of terpenoid lactones found in plants that regulate diverse
developmental phenomena. SLs are thought to be involved in the maintenance of …

Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) development in five non-nodulating pea (Pisum sativum L.)
mutants (sym7, sym11, sym14, sym34, sym38) grown in nurse pots was analyzed at the …
