Increasing consciousness regarding the nutritional value of olive oil has enhanced the
demand for this product and, consequently, the expansion of olive tree cultivation. Although …

In plants, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) accumulates rapidly in response to environmental
stress and variations in its endogenous concentration have been shown to affect plant …

Stress signalling and regulatory networks controlling expression of target genes are the
basis of plant response to drought. Roots are the first organs exposed to water deficiency in …

Efficient soil exploration by roots represents an important target for crop improvement and
food security [1, 2]. Lateral root (LR) formation is a key trait for optimizing soil foraging for …

Roots are important plant organs. Lateral root (LR) initiation (LRI) and development play a
central role in environmental adaptation. The mechanism of LR development has been well …

Gas exchange, growth, water transport and carbon (C) metabolism diminish during drought
according to their respective sensitivities to declining water status. The timing of this …

Rose (Rosa chinensis) is the most important ornamental crops worldwide. However, the
physiological and molecular mechanism of rose under drought stress remains elusive. In …

Accurate quantification of phytohormones in specific target cells will greatly facilitate the
elucidation of the molecular mechanisms of their actions. Since the Avena coleoptile …

The predicted accentuation of drought events highlights the importance of optimize plants
capacity to tolerate drought, but also the capacity to recovery from it, especially in species …

The plant hormone gibberellin (GA) regulates multiple developmental processes. It
accumulates in the root elongating endodermis, but how it moves into this cell file and the …
