Plant hormones play a major role in plant growth and development. They affect similar processes but, paradoxically, their signaling pathways act nonredundantly. Hormone signals are integrated at ...

Plant hormones, also known as phytohormones, are chemicals that regulate plant cell processes. They are signal molecules produced within the plant functioning in extremely low concentrations.

New research from an international team of plant biologists, led by researchers at the VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems ...

Right under our feet, hidden in the ground, there is a complex network of relationships: almost all plants live in close symbiosis with fungi. These fungi do not form the classic mushroom fruiting ...

Rooting powder contains plant hormones to promote growth. Plant cuttings can be dipped in hormone rooting powder before planting. Synthetic plant hormones are used to control plant growth.

The questions in this quiz are suitable for GCSE biology students studying auxins, phototropism, geotropism and uses of plant hormones. If you struggled with the quiz, don't panic - we've got you!

have identified how abscisic acid (ABA), a plant hormone known for its role in drought response, influences root growth angles in cereal crops such as rice and maize. The results have been ...

In particular, her team discovered what happens to a symbiosis when the plant produces stress hormones. Their research could contribute to a new agriculture in which plants and fungi are considered as ...

His path-breaking process, which became known as the "Marker Degradation," remains the basis of synthetic hormone production today. Marker still needed to find a plant that could yield enough ...

It is the master plant hormone that has the potential to be a game-changer for global food security. What UTAS researchers have uncovered about this “natural booster”. University of Tasmania ...
