Auxin, one of the first identified and most widely studied phytohormones, has been and will
remain a hot topic in plant biology. After more than a century of passionate exploration, the …

Auxin plays a crucial role in the diverse cellular and developmental responses of plants
across their lifespan. Plants can quickly sense and respond to changes in auxin levels, and …

Auxin is arguably the most important signaling molecule in plants, and the last few decades
have seen remarkable breakthroughs in understanding its production, transport, and …

Plant cells are embedded within cell walls, which provide structural integrity, but also
spatially constrain cells, and must therefore be modified to allow cellular expansion. The …

Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), the main auxin in higher plants, has profound effects on plant
growth and development. Both plants and some plant pathogens can produce IAA to …

Plant hormones regulate many aspects of plant growth and development. Both auxin and
cytokinin have been known for a long time to act either synergistically or antagonistically to …

The Arabidopsis root has been the subject of intense research over the past decades. This
research has led to significantly improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms …

The development of the plant root system is highly plastic, which allows the plant to adapt to
various environmental stresses. Salt stress inhibits root elongation by reducing the size of …

A plant's roots system determines both the capacity of a sessile organism to acquire
nutrients and water, as well as providing a means to monitor the soil for a range of …

Plants exhibit a unique developmental flexibility to ever-changing environmental conditions.
To achieve their profound adaptability, plants are able to maintain permanent stem cell …
