The major natural auxin in plants, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), orchestrates a plethora of
developmental responses that largely depend on the formation of auxin concentration …

Ascorbic acid is synthesised by eukaryotes, the known exceptions being primates and some
other animal groups which have lost functional gulonolactone oxidase. Prokaryotes do not …

Inactivation of the phytohormone auxin plays important roles in plant development, and
several enzymes have been implicated in auxin inactivation. In this study, we show that the …

Optimal plant development requires root uptake of 14 essential mineral elements from the
soil. Since the bioavailability of these nutrients underlies large variation in space and time …

Plant growth and development are critically influenced by unpredictable abiotic factors. To
survive fluctuating changes in their environments, plants have had to develop robust …

Under the natural environment, nutrient signals interact with phytohormones to coordinate
and reprogram plant growth and survival. Sugars are important molecules that control …

It has been a dominant dogma in plant biology that the self-organizing polar auxin transport
system is necessary and sufficient to generate auxin maxima and minima that are essential …

Root system architecture is an important determinant of below-ground resource capture and
hence overall plant fitness. The plant hormone auxin plays a central role in almost every …

In most abiotic stress conditions, including salinity and water deficit, the developmental
plasticity of the plant root is regulated by the phytohormone auxin. Changes in auxin …

To investigate the effect and mechanism of chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs) on the
germination and seedling growth of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), we conducted systematic …
