Understanding the connections between plant hormones and cellulose synthesis in plants: still a great unknown!
Wang and colleagues review the relationships between key phytohormone classes and cellulose deposition in plant systems.

Strigolactones interact with other plant hormones in many situations
Strigolactones are interesting phytohormones in their own right, but Luke Omoarelojie and colleagues say we should be looking at cross-talk with other hormones too.
Can a tomato hear, and what would it listen to?
Over Christmas, a couple of papers came out that suggest plants can respond to airborne sound waves. The findings challenge many ideas about how plants respond to sound.
Ethylene modulates root cortical senescence in barley
Root cortical senescence (RCS) is a poorly understood phenomenon with implications for adaptation to edaphic stress. Schneider et al. demonstrate that ethylene modulates RCS.
Abscisic acid affects rice cell wall phosphate remobilization and P transporation
Melatonin and its relationship to plant hormones
Plant melatonin appears to be a multi-regulatory molecule, similar to those observed in animals, with many specific functions in plant physiology.
Ethylene perception determines tomato plant growth induction by soil bacteria
Tomato responses to resistance inducers and a biotrophic pathogen
Ethylene affects cell wall remobilisation
Sodium nitroprusside and ozone in kiwifruit ripening
Light quality, volatile emissions and plant–plant interactions
Mimicking the proximity of neighbouring plants using a supplemental far-red light treatment on plants.
Mechanisms for ethylene-induced aerenchyma formation
Results suggest that ethylene is perceived in all maize root tissues and cortical-cell-specific PCD is controlled downstream of ethylene perception.
Sediment seed banks in freshwater sandstone rock pools
Results suggest that sediment seed banks may represent a significant driver of species persistence in these ecosystems.
