Despite long-standing observations on diverse cytokinin actions, the discovery path to
cytokinin signaling mechanisms was tortuous. Unyielding to conventional genetic screens …

In plants, the cytokinin (CK) phytohormones regulate numerous biological processes,
including responses to environmental stresses, via a complex network of CK signaling. By …

Identifying key players and their interactions is fundamental for understanding biochemical
mechanisms at the molecular level. The ever-increasing number of alternative ways to …

Cytokinin regulates many important aspects of plant development in aerial and
subterranean organs. The hormone is part of an intrinsic genetic network controlling organ …

Dioecy, the presence of male and female flowers on distinct individuals, has evolved
independently in multiple plant lineages, and the genes involved in this differential …

Cytokinins promote plant growth and development under normal plant growth conditions
and also play an important role in plant resistance to stress. Understanding the working …

The plant hormones referred to as cytokinins are chemical signals that control numerous
developmental processes throughout the plant life cycle, including gametogenesis, root …

Pods play a key role in encapsulating the developing seeds and protecting them from pests
and pathogens. In addition to this protective function, it has been shown that the …

Lateral roots (LRs) are a major determinant of the root system architecture in plants, and
developmental plasticity of LR formation is critical for the survival of plants in changing …

Background The reliance on chemical inputs to support high yields is the Achilles' heel of
modern crop production. The soil organic matter management is as old as agriculture itself …
