Brassinosteroids (BRs) are steroid hormones that are essential for plant growth and
development. These hormones control the division, elongation and differentiation of various …

Plants have evolved a repertoire of monitoring systems to sense plant morphogenesis and
to face environmental changes and threats caused by different attackers. These systems …

Phytosterols (plant sterols) occur in the cells of all plants. They are important structural
components that stabilize the biological membranes of plants. Sterols can occur in the “free” …

Plants and animals each have evolved specialized organs dedicated to nutrient acquisition,
and these harbor specific bacterial communities that extend the host's metabolic repertoire …

Brassinosteroids are plant steroid hormones that regulate diverse processes, such as cell
division and cell elongation, through gene regulatory networks that vary in space and time …

Plants encounter a variety of stresses and must fine-tune their growth and stress-response
programs to best suit their environment. BES1 functions as a master regulator in the …

Drought represents a major threat to food security. Mechanistic data describing plant
responses to drought have been studied extensively and genes conferring drought …

Plants are faced with a barrage of stresses in their environment and must constantly balance
their growth and survival. As such, plants have evolved complex control systems that …

Soil salinity is a worldwide concern that decreases plant growth performance in agricultural
fields and contributes to food scarcity. Salt stressors have adverse impacts on the plant's …

Phytohormones are natural chemical messengers that play critical roles in the regulation of
plant growth and development as well as responses to biotic and abiotic stress factors …
