Recent research into bacterial cellulose patches may speed plants' recovery, improve grafting and help with preservation.

Wageningen researchers have discovered that a vital plant protein originated more than 600 million years ago, long before the first plants existed. They traced its origins back to an evolutionary ...

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 ...

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

In it, the researchers describe a study focused on strigolactones, a special class of hormones in plants, that are difficult to study because plants produce them in small quantities. Plant ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) A method has been developed to produce strigolactones, a class of plant hormones, using microbial cell factories, significantly increasing their availability for ...

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.

New method of regulating plant hormones allows researchers to increase quality and yields of rice crops grown in saline soil.

coli and yeast -- to produce a special class of plant hormones, known as strigolactones, at unprecedented levels. By amplifying production of strigolactones, which occur in such low amounts in ...

Tissue culture is a technique used to grow whole new plants from small sections of a parent plant. Hormones are used to stimulate cell division and elongation. When pollen has fertilized the egg ...
