Plant hormones control most aspects of the plant life cycle by regulating genome
expression. Expression of auxin-responsive genes involves interactions among auxin …

As multicellular organisms, plants, like animals, use endogenous signaling molecules to
coordinate their own physiology and development. To compensate for the absence of a …

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 …

The importance of plant volatiles in mediating interactions between plant species is much
debated. Here, we demonstrate that the parasitic plant Cuscuta pentagona (dodder) uses …

The circadian clock plays a pervasive role in the temporal regulation of plant physiology,
environmental responsiveness, and development. In contrast, the phytohormone auxin plays …

Root tropisms are important responses of plants, allowing them to adapt their growth
direction. Research on plant tropisms is indispensable for future space programs that …

Plant tropism refers to the directed movement of an organ or organism in response to
external stimuli. Typically, these stimuli induce hormone transport that triggers cell growth or …

Plant intelligence has gone largely unnoticed within the field of animal and human adaptive
behavior. In this context, we will introduce current work on plant intelligence as a new set of …

In photosynthesis, light energy is absorbed by light‐harvesting complexes and used to drive
photochemistry. However, a fraction of absorbed light is lost to non‐photochemical …

Stress in plants can be defined as any external factor that negatively influences plant growth,
productivity, reproductive capacity or survival. As with any living organism, plants have an …
