The major natural auxin in plants, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), orchestrates a plethora of
developmental responses that largely depend on the formation of auxin concentration …

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

Inactivation of the phytohormone auxin plays important roles in plant development, and
several enzymes have been implicated in auxin inactivation. In this study, we show that the …

It has been a dominant dogma in plant biology that the self-organizing polar auxin transport
system is necessary and sufficient to generate auxin maxima and minima that are essential …

Glutamate (Glu) is a versatile metabolite and a signaling molecule in plants. Glu
biosynthesis is associated with the primary nitrogen assimilation pathway. The conversion …

Root system architecture is an important determinant of below-ground resource capture and
hence overall plant fitness. The plant hormone auxin plays a central role in almost every …

L-aspartate (Asp) serves as a central building block, in addition to being a constituent of
proteins, for many metabolic processes in most organisms, such as biosynthesis of other …

In most abiotic stress conditions, including salinity and water deficit, the developmental
plasticity of the plant root is regulated by the phytohormone auxin. Changes in auxin …

The main functions of plant roots are water and nutrient uptake, soil anchorage, and
interaction with soil-living biota. Root hairs, single cell tubular extensions of root epidermal …

To investigate the effect and mechanism of chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs) on the
germination and seedling growth of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), we conducted systematic …
