Climate change threatens global food and nutritional security through negative effects on
crop growth and agricultural productivity. Many countries have adopted ambitious climate …

Although many plant cell types are capable of producing hormones, and plant hormones
can in most cases act in the same cells in which they are produced, they also act as …

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are steroidal phytohormones that are essential for plant growth,
development and adaptation to environmental stresses. BRs act in a dose-dependent …

Oxygen is a key signalling component of plant biology, and whilst an oxygen-sensing
mechanism was previously described in Arabidopsis thaliana, key features of the associated …

Multicellularity has emerged multiple times in evolution, enabling groups of cells to share a
living space and reducing the burden of solitary tasks. While unicellular organisms exhibit …

Seeds are a vital source of calories for humans and a unique stage in the life cycle of
flowering plants. During seed germination, the embryo undergoes major developmental …

The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) accumulates under abiotic stress to recast water
relations and development. To overcome a lack of high-resolution sensitive reporters, we …

Compaction disrupts soil structure, reducing root growth, nutrient and water uptake, gas
exchange, and microbial growth. Root growth inhibition by soil compaction was originally …

Limited water availability is a major environmental factor constraining plant development
and crop yields. One of the prominent adaptations of plants to water deficits is the …

It has been almost a century since biologically active gibberellin (GA) was isolated. Here, we
give a historical overview of the early efforts in establishing the GA biosynthesis and …
