Phytohormones are ubiquitously involved in plant biological processes and regulate cellular
signaling pertaining to unheralded environmental cues, such as salinity, drought, extreme …

Endogenous signalling peptides play diverse roles during plant growth, development and
stress responses. Research in recent years has unravelled peptides with previously known …

Stomata exert considerable effects on global carbon and water cycles by mediating gas
exchange and water vapour,. Stomatal closure prevents water loss in response to …

Deciding whether to grow or to divert energy to stress responses is a major physiological
trade-off for plants surviving in fluctuating environments. We show that three leucine-rich …

Sessile plants encode a large number of small peptides and cell surface-resident receptor
kinases, most of which have unknown functions. Here, we report that the Arabidopsis …

Plant genomes encode hundreds of receptor kinases and peptides, but the number of
known plant receptor-ligand pairs is limited. We report that the Arabidopsis leucine-rich …

Plant peptide hormones are important players that control various aspects of the lives of
plants. RAPID ALKALINIZATION FACTOR (RALF) peptides have recently emerged as …

Secreted signaling peptides are central regulators of growth, development, and stress
responses, but specific steps in the evolution of these peptides and their receptors are not …

Leaf senescence is an important developmental process in the plant life cycle and has a
significant impact on agriculture. When facing harsh environmental conditions, monocarpic …

Plant signalling peptides are typically released from larger precursors by proteolytic
cleavage to regulate plant growth, development and stress responses. Recent studies …
