We propose a role for the plant hormone auxin as an integrator of the activities of multiple plant hormones to control plant growth in response to the environment. Plants are sessile organisms and ...

In the plant root, responses to light are known as a negative phototropism, which means the root grows away from the light. Auxins are chemicals that control the growth of plants by promoting cell ...

In a stem, the cells on the shaded side contain more auxin and grow longer than the cells on the light side. This causes the stem to grow towards the light. It is vital to note that the plant does ...

The most common auxin in nature is called Indole-3 acetic ... Surprisingly, of the 21 bacterial strains, only four affected plant growth in the way scientists expected. Not coincidentally, they ...

It has long been known that auxin stimulates the growth of plants. Now it has been discovered that some other substances do the same thing, opening up new horizons in plant physiology and ...

Jim Willwerth, in this horticulture discussion, delves into hormonal therapy for grapevines, including plant growth ...

The hormone auxin is responsible for this growth response ... The duration, intensity, and quality of light also influence plant growth. Sun-loving plants generally require direct sunlight ...

as well as increase the levels of sucrose and hexose within the plant. The researchers also found that seedlings grown under these conditions had different gene expression patterns compared with those ...

Researchers have demonstrated a technique for successfully encapsulating bacteria that can then be stored and applied to plants to improve plant growth and protect against pests and pathogens.

Vascular cambium produces xylem (wood) and phloem, and together with the cork cambium, which produces a protective layer at the surface called phellem (cork), they provide thickness to plant organs.
