Additionally, the researchers found that two classical phytohormones—abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellic acid (GA)—have antagonistic roles in regulating cyst dormancy maintenance and release.

As a canonical non-climacteric fruit, strawberry (Fragaria spp.) ripening is mainly mediated by abscisic acid (ABA), which involves multiple other phytohormone signalings. Many details of these ...

Grass stomata recruit lateral subsidiary cells (SCs), which are key to the unique stomatal morphology and the efficient plant-atmosphere gas exchange in grasses. Subsidiary mother cells (SMCs) ...

Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2)-mediated trimethylation of histone H3 on lysine 27 (H3K27me3) and methylation of histone 3 on lysine 9 (H3K9me) are two repressive epigenetic modifications that ...

Genome projects of many organisms have revealed complexity of genome structure. However, DNA sequence information is not enough to understand ... Under drought stress, NCED3, a key gene in the ...
