In the past and present, human activities have been involved in triggering global warming,
causing drought stresses that affect animals and plants. Plants are more defenseless …

Root systems can display variable architectures that contribute to survival strategies of
plants. The model plant Arabidopsis thaliana possesses a tap root system, in which the …

Salicylic acid (SA) is a plant hormone that has been described to play an essential role in
the activation and regulation of multiple responses to biotic and to abiotic stresses. In …

Root system architecture is an important determinant of below-ground resource capture and
hence overall plant fitness. The plant hormone auxin plays a central role in almost every …

In most abiotic stress conditions, including salinity and water deficit, the developmental
plasticity of the plant root is regulated by the phytohormone auxin. Changes in auxin …

The year 2014 marked the 25th International Conference on Arabidopsis Research. In the
50 yr since the first International Conference on Arabidopsis Research, held in 1965 in …

Root branching is critical for plants to secure anchorage and ensure the supply of water,
minerals, and nutrients. To date, research on root branching has focused on lateral root …

Plants in dense vegetation compete for resources and detect competitors through reflection
of far-red (FR) light from surrounding plants. This reflection causes a reduced red (R): FR …

Lateral root (LR) emergence represents a highly coordinated process in which the plant
hormone auxin plays a central role. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been proposed to …
