Wageningen researchers have discovered that a vital plant protein originated more than 600 million years ago, long before the ...

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 ...

"Finding ways to tackle food insecurity is vital." Scientists discover potential solution for $30 billion food crisis: ...

This is just like phototropism, in that auxin in the root inhibits growth and auxin in the stem promotes growth.

"It turns out this tiny molecule holds the key to how plants store energy ... The research reveals a surprising truth: auxin isn't just a growth hormone. Without it, seeds simply can't properly ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered that a crucial protein found in plants, called auxin response factor (ARF) first arose about 600 ...

In a phenomenon known as phototropism, plants grow towards a light source. The hormone auxin is responsible for this growth ...

This new study gives new insights into how ABA changes root growth angles to enable plants to reach out deeper subsoils in search of water. The researchers discovered a new mechanism where ABA ...
