GRAS proteins are a recently discovered family of plant-specific proteins named after GAI,
RGA and SCR, the first three of its members isolated. Although the Arabidopsis genome …

The molecular mechanisms of plant growth and development have been analyzed in detail
during the past years. The critical role of a plant-specific family of GRAS domain proteins in …

In the rhizosphere, exudates from plants and microorganisms as well as stable soil organic
matter influence processes that can control plant growth, microbial infections, and nutrient …

Background Drought is a major abiotic stress factors that reduces agricultural productivity.
GRAS transcription factors are plant-specific proteins that play diverse roles in plant …

The symbiotic association of legumes with rhizobia involves bacterially derived Nod factor,
which is sufficient to activate the formation of nodules on the roots of the host plant …

Background GRAS transcription factors usually act as integrators of multiple growth
regulatory and environmental signals, including axillary shoot meristem formation, root …

Members of the GRAS gene family encode transcriptional regulators that have diverse
functions in plant growth and development such as gibberellin signal transduction, root …

Rhizobial bacteria activate the formation of nodules on the appropriate host legume plant,
and this requires the bacterial signaling molecule Nod factor. Perception of Nod factor in the …

Summary In Arabidopsis, the miR171‐GRAS module has been clarified as key player in
meristem maintenance. However, the knowledge about its role in fruit crops like tomato …

ABSTRACT MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are∼ 21-nucleotide noncoding RNAs that play critical
roles in regulating plant growth and development through directing the degradation of target …
