Shoot branching patterns result from the spatio-temporal regulation of axillary bud
outgrowth. Numerous endogenous, developmental and environmental factors are integrated …

Background Functional–structural plant models (FSPMs) explore and integrate relationships
between a plant's structure and processes that underlie its growth and development. In the …

In this article, we assess the potential of depth imaging systems for 3D measurements in the
context of plant phenotyping. We propose an original algorithm to segment depth images of …

Plant architecture is controlled by several endogenous signals including hormones and
sugars. However, only little information is known about the nature and roles of the sugar …

Incessant development and introduction of novel cultivars with improved floral attributes are
vital in the dynamic ornamental industry. Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium) is a …

The spatiotemporal architecture of inflorescences that bear flowers determines plant
reproductive success by affecting fruit set and plant interaction with pollinators. The …

Plant tropism refers to the directed movement of an organ or organism in response to
external stimuli. Typically, these stimuli induce hormone transport that triggers cell growth or …

Modern cotton cultivation requires high plant densities and compact plants. Here we study
planting density and growth regulator effects on plant structure and production of cotton …

The growth of wheat tillers and plant nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) will gradually deteriorate
in response to high plant density and over-application of N. Therefore, in this study, a 2-year …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is critical in drought tolerance and plant growth. Group A protein type 2C
phosphatases (PP2Cs) are negative regulators of ABA signaling and plant adaptation to …
