Hypocotyl elongation of Arabidopsis seedlings is influenced by light and numerous growth factors. Light inhibits hypocotyl elongation (photomorphogenesis), whereas elongation is promoted in the dark (skotomorphogenesis)...
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a well-studied phytohormone known to be involved in sub-sets of stress responses in plants, such as iron (Fe) deficiency and phosphorus (P) deficiency in Arabidopsis. However, whether ABA is...
Results suggest that the co-ordinated action of carbohydrate metabolism and hormone synthesis enables C. obovata to survive unfavourable field conditions.
Stomatal aperture is regulated by the stress-induced phyto-hormone abscisic acid (ABA), and by CO2 and Ca2+ concentrations. Hubbard et al. review the topic and propose models to explain the specificity of signalling for...
Growth regulators and germination of recalcitrant seeds There is relatively little information avialable regarding the role of plant growth regulators in the germination of recalcitrant seeds. Pieruzzi et al. determine...
