The plant hormone auxin acts as a signaling molecule to regulate numerous developmental
processes throughout all stages of plant growth. Understanding how auxin regulates various …

Flowers are highly complex organs that have evolved to enhance the reproductive success
of angiosperms. As a key component of flowers, petals play a vital role in attracting …

Drought is an environmental factor that can severely influence plant development and
distribution, and greatly affect the yield and economic value of crops. We characterized …

Flower and fruit abscission is a highly programmed physiological process, which is closely
related to the yield of horticultural plants. The coordination of many regulatory factors …

The timing of plant organ abscission is modulated by the balance of two hormones, ethylene
and auxin, while the mechanism of organ shedding depends on the loss of middle lamella …

Developmental transitions in plants require adequate carbon resources, and organ
abscission often occurs due to competition for carbohydrates/assimilates. Physiological …

Flowers are key organs in many ornamental plants, and various phases of flower
development impact their economic value. The final stage of petal development is …

Background The auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is a vital phytohormone that influences
plant growth and development. Our previous work showed that IAA content decreased …

Abstract MIKC C-type MADS-box (MIKC C) genes encode transcription factors that have
crucial roles in controlling floral organogenesis and flowering time in plants. Although this …

Flower senescence is a fundamental aspect of the developmental trajectory in flowers,
occurring after the differentiation of tissues and maturation of petals, and preceding the …
