In addition to its role in water and nutrient uptake, the root system is fundamentally important
because it anchors a plant to its substrate. Although a wide variety of root systems exist …

Root‐secreted chemicals mediate multi‐partite interactions in the rhizosphere, where plant
roots continually respond to and alter their immediate environment. Increasing evidence …

Adventitious rooting (AR) is a multifactorial response leading to new roots at the base of
stem cuttings, and the establishment of a complete and autonomous plant. AR has two main …

Vegetative shoot-based propagation of plants, including mass propagation of elite
genotypes, is dependent on the development of shoot-borne roots, which are also called …

Plants sense neighbor proximity as a decrease in the ratio of red to far-red light, which
triggers a series of developmental responses. In Arabidopsis, phytochrome B (PHYB) is the …

In Arabidopsis thaliana, canonical auxin-dependent gene regulation is mediated by 23
transcription factors from the AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR (ARF) family that interact with …

Plants have evolved sophisticated root systems that help them to cope with harsh
environmental conditions. They are typically composed of a primary root and lateral roots …

Auxin signaling is key to many plant growth and developmental processes from
embryogenesis to senescence. Most, if not all, of these processes are initiated and/or …

Plants grown at high densities perceive a decrease in the red to far-red (R: FR) ratio of
incoming light, resulting from absorption of red light by canopy leaves and reflection of far …

Plant adaptive responses to drought are coordinated by adjusting growth and
developmental processes as well as molecular and cellular activities. The root system is the …
