Twenty-five years ago, a seminal paper demonstrated that warm temperatures increase
auxin levels to promote hypocotyl growth in Arabidopsis thaliana. Here we highlight recent …

Plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to detect various forms of danger. Damage-
associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are endogenous danger molecules that are …

Auxin serves as an essential regulator of the expression of many different genes in plants,
thereby regulating growth and development. The specific functional roles of members of the …

Abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and cold negatively affect plant growth and crop
productivity. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying plant responses to these …

RNA methylation plays a central regulatory role in plant biology and is a relatively new target
for plant improvement efforts. In nearly all cases, perturbation of the RNA methylation …

Introduction The leaf, the main product organ, is an essential factor in determining the
Chinese cabbage growth, yield and quality. Methods To explore the regulatory mechanism …

The phytohormone auxin and light both regulate plant elongation growth. Light suppresses
hypocotyl elongation, whereas auxin promotes it. However, auxin can reverse its effect and …

Chemical properties of the apoplast and rhizosphere are crucial for plant development and
its overall well-being. Apoplast includes space outside the plasma membrane and its …
