Plant regeneration occurs when plants repair or replace damaged structures based on the
totipotency and pluripotency of their cells. Tissue culture is one of the most widely used …

The idea of eliminating the use of fertilizers which are sometimes environmentally unsafe is
slowly becoming a reality because of the emergence of microorganisms that can serve the …

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) modules play key roles in the transduction of
environmental and developmental signals through phosphorylation of downstream signaling …

Plants associate with communities of microbes (bacteria and fungi) that play critical roles in
plant development, nutrient acquisition and oxidative stress tolerance. The major share of …

Many new questions on the regulation of shoot branching have been raised in recent years,
prompting a review and reassessment of the role of each signal involved. Sugars and their …

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 …

To improve water and nutrient acquisition from the soil, plants can modulate their root
system architecture. Despite the importance of changes in root architecture to exploit local …

To maintain the world population demand, a sustainable agriculture is needed. Since
current global vision is more friendly with the environment, eco-friendly alternatives are …

Plant roots exhibit plasticity in their branching patterns to forage efficiently for
heterogeneously distributed resources, such as soil water. The xerobranching response …

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