Plants maintain the ability to form lateral appendages throughout their life cycle and form
leaves as the principal lateral appendages of the stem. Leaves initiate at the peripheral zone …

Brassinosteroid (BR) regulates many important agronomic traits and thus has great potential
in agriculture. However, BR application is limited due to its complex effects on plants. The …

Drought stress is one of most dramatic abiotic stresses, reduces crop yield significantly.
Application of hormones proved as an effective drought stress ameliorating approach. 24 …

Brassinosteroids regulate plant growth and development through a protein complex that
includes the leucine-rich repeat receptor-like protein kinase (LRR-RLK) brassinosteroid …

Plant steroid hormones, known as brassinosteroids (BRs), signal through a plasma
membrane localized receptor kinase BRI1. We identified bes1, a semidominant suppressor …

The cytochrome P450 (CYP) superfamily is the largest enzymatic protein family in plants,
and it also widely exists in mammals, fungi, bacteria, insects and so on. Members of this …

Phytohormones are natural chemical messengers that play critical roles in the regulation of
plant growth and development as well as responses to biotic and abiotic stress factors …

There are 244 cytochrome P450 genes (and 28 pseudogenes) in the Arabidopsis genome.
P450s thus form one of the largest gene families in plants. Contrary to what was initially …

Plant hormones regulate plant growth and development by affecting an array of cellular,
physiological, and developmental processes, including, but not limited to, cell division and …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …
