Many new questions on the regulation of shoot branching have been raised in recent years,
prompting a review and reassessment of the role of each signal involved. Sugars and their …

Strigolactones are a structurally diverse class of plant hormones that control many aspects of
shoot and root growth. Strigolactones are also exuded by plants into the rhizosphere, where …

Strigolactones (SLs) are plant hormones that regulate diverse developmental processes and
environmental responses. They are also known to be root‐derived chemical signals that …

For almost a century the plant hormone auxin has been central to theories on apical
dominance, whereby the growing shoot tip suppresses the growth of the axillary buds below …

The inhibition of shoot branching by the growing shoot tip of plants, termed apical
dominance, was originally thought to be mediated by auxin. Recently, the importance of the …

Summary Trehalose 6‐phosphate (Tre6P) is a sucrose signalling metabolite that has been
implicated in regulation of shoot branching, but its precise role is not understood. We …

Shoot branching is a highly plastic developmental process in which axillary buds are formed
in the axil of each leaf and may subsequently be activated to give branches. Three classes …

Grain yield in rice is a complex trait multiplicatively determined by its three component traits:
number of panicles, number of grains per panicle, and grain weight; all of which are typical …

Strigolactones were originally identified as stimulators of the germination of root-parasitic
weeds that pose a serious threat to resource-limited agriculture. They are mostly exuded …
