Dilkes said the findings show that the plant mechanisms responsible for sensing these hormones and creating physical characteristics are intertwined in ways that will take much more work to unravel.

At first glance, plant and animal cells have a lot in common: they’re both highly organized, keep their DNA tucked away in an envelope, and are kinda ...

The knowledge has the potential to allow scientists to control that stress response and produce hormones in plants to increase crop yields. For the research, the team used a small, flowering plant ...

What are plant hormones?Plant hormones are trace organic compounds synthesized in plants that have significant effects on plant growth and development. They can be transferred from the site of ...

These reports were welcomed by plant physiologists as two more interesting contributions to the important and already broadly extended research into what makes vegetation grow. It is estimated ...

Though they applied the factories to just one type of hormone, the researchers believe that the platform could be used to produce large quantities of other types of scarce plant molecules.
