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 …

There have been substantial advances in our understanding of many aspects of
strigolactone regulation of branching since the discovery of strigolactones as …

Shoot branching is regulated by multiple signals. Previous studies have indicated that
sucrose may promote shoot branching through suppressing the inhibitory effect of the …

The process of apical dominance by which the apical bud/shoot tip of the plant inhibits the
outgrowth of axillary buds located below has been studied for more than a century. Different …

Apical dominance, the process by which the growing apical zone of the shoot inhibits bud
outgrowth, involves an intricate network of several signals in the shoot. Auxin originating …

Plants have evolved elaborate mechanisms to detect neighboring plants, which typically
involve the perception of" cues" inadvertently produced by the neighbor. 1 Strigolactones …

The plant hormones strigolactones are synthesized from carotenoids and signal via the α/β
hydrolase DWARF 14 (D14) and the F‐box protein MORE AXILLARY GROWTH 2 (MAX2) …

Tillering, also known as shoot branching, is a fundamental trait for cereal crops such as rice
to produce sufficient panicle numbers. Effective tillering that guarantees successful panicle …

By contrast with rapid progress in understanding the mechanisms of biosynthesis and
signaling of strigolactone (SL), mechanisms by which SL inhibits axillary bud outgrowth are …

Positional information is crucial for the determination of plant cell fates, and it is established
based on coordinated cell-to-cell communication, which in turn is essential for plant growth …
