Plants undergo a major physiological change as they transition from vegetative growth to
reproductive development. This transition is a result of responses to various endogenous …

Jasmonates are phytohormones that regulate many aspects of plant growth, development,
and defense. Within the signaling cascades that are triggered by jasmonates, the …

Plant growth and development is regulated by a structurally unrelated collection of small
molecules called plant hormones. During the last 15 years the number of known plant …

Precise flowering time is critical to reproductive success. In response to diverse exogenous
and endogenous cues including age, hormones, photoperiod, and temperature, the floral …

Gibberellin (GA), a diterpene hormone, plays diverse roles in plant growth and development,
including seed germination, stem elongation, and flowering time. Although it is known that …

Plants utilize the ubiquitin‐proteasome system (UPS) to modulate nearly every aspect of
growth and development. Ubiquitin is covalently attached to target proteins through the …

Piriformospora indica is a root-colonizing basidiomycete that confers a wide range of
beneficial traits to its host. The fungus shows a biotrophic growth phase in Arabidopsis …

Plant 14-3-3 isoforms, like their highly conserved homologues in mammals, function by
binding to phosphorylated client proteins to modulate their function. Through the regulation …

Melatonin (MT) can effectively reduce oxidative damage induced by abiotic stresses such as
salt in plants. However, the effects of MT on physiological responses and molecular …

Abstract Ethylene (C2H4) is a unique plant-signaling molecule that regulates numerous
developmental processes. The key enzyme in the two-step biosynthetic pathway of ethylene …
