Auxin plays crucial roles in multiple developmental processes, such as embryogenesis,
organogenesis, cell determination and division, as well as tropic responses. These …

The establishment of symbiotic nitrogen fixation requires the coordination of both nodule
development and infection events. Despite the evolution of a variety of anatomical …

Most land plants live in close contact with beneficial soil microbes: the majority of land plant
species establish symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, while most legumes, the third …

Most legumes can form a unique type of lateral organ on their roots: root nodules. These
structures host symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria called rhizobia. Several different types of …

Auxins play important roles in the nodulation of legumes. However, the mechanism by which
auxin signaling regulates root nodulation is largely unknown. In particular, the role of auxin …

The distribution and content of auxin within plant tissues affect a variety of important growth
and developmental processes. Polar auxin transport (PAT), mainly mediated by auxin influx …

In order to survive, plants have, over the course of their evolution, developed sophisticated
acclimation and defense strategies governed by complex molecular and physiological, and …

Coffee is one of the most popular beverages around the world, which is mainly produced
from the allopolyploid Coffea arabica. The genomes of C. arabica and its two ancestors C …

Legumes develop root nodules in which bacteria fix nitrogen for plants. The phytohormones
auxin and cytokinin regulate nodule organogenesis by recruiting various genes to effect …

Drought is one of the major environmental factors limiting biomass and seed yield
production in agriculture. In this research, we focused on plants from the Fabaceae family …
