Flowers are highly complex organs that have evolved to enhance the reproductive success
of angiosperms. As a key component of flowers, petals play a vital role in attracting …

Abstract KNOX (KNOTTED1-like HOMEOBOX) belongs to a class of important homeobox
genes, which encode the homeodomain proteins binding to the specific element of target …

Flower and fruit abscission is a highly programmed physiological process, which is closely
related to the yield of horticultural plants. The coordination of many regulatory factors …

Subsoil compaction is increasingly a problem. Subsoiling breaks up the soil, removes
compaction, and improves root growth. However, it is unclear whether subsoiling depth …

Plant organ abscission, a process that is important for development and reproductive
success, is inhibited by the phytohormone auxin and promoted by another phytohormone …

Developmental transitions in plants require adequate carbon resources, and organ
abscission often occurs due to competition for carbohydrates/assimilates. Physiological …

Premature abscission of flowers and fruits triggered by low light stress can severely reduce
crop yields. However, the underlying molecular mechanism of this organ abscission is not …

Introduction KNOX plays a pivotal role in governing plant growth, development, and
responses to diverse abiotic and biotic stresses. However, information on the relationship …

Fruit set is the process by which the ovary develops into a fruit and is an important factor in
determining fruit yield. Fruit set is induced by two hormones, auxin and gibberellin, and the …

The initiation of plant lateral organs from the shoot apical meristem (SAM) is closely
associated with the formation of specialized domains of restricted growth known as the …
