Auxin, one of the first identified and most widely studied phytohormones, has been and will
remain a hot topic in plant biology. After more than a century of passionate exploration, the …

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 …

In plants, iron (Fe) transport and homeostasis are highly regulated processes. Fe deficiency
or excess dramatically limits plant and algal productivity. Interestingly, complex and …

DNA methylation is a conserved modification that must be precisely regulated during
development to facilitate its roles in silencing transposable elements and regulating gene …

Plant fitness is largely dependent on the root, the underground organ, which, besides its
anchoring function, supplies the plant body with water and all nutrients necessary for growth …

DNA methylation plays an important role in many biological processes. The mechanisms
underlying the establishment and maintenance of DNA methylation are well understood …

The potassium ion (K+) is vital for plant growth and development, and K+-deprivation leads
to reduced crop yields. Here we describe phenotypic, transcriptomic, and mutant analyses to …

Abiotic and biotic stresses globally constrain plant growth and impede the optimization of
crop productivity. The phytohormone auxin is involved in nearly every aspect of plant …

Background Auxin/indoleacetic acid (AUX/IAA) genes encoding short-lived proteins
participate in AUX signaling transduction and play crucial roles in plant growth and …

The gene expression is tightly regulated temporally and spatially to ensure the plant and
animal proper development, function, growth, and survival under different environmental …
