have identified how abscisic acid (ABA), a plant hormone known for its role in drought response, influences root growth ...

Researchers have developed the world's first near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent nanosensor capable of real-time, non-destructive ...

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 ...

MIT and SMART scientists use microneedles to inject melatonin into crops, helping them stay fresh longer and reduce food ...

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 ...

Learn about our Editorial Policies. Plant SLs serve two roles: canonical ones act as external signaling molecules typically released from the roots, while noncanonical SLs function as hormones within ...

researchers are unravelling the role of plant hormones, known as strigolactones (SLs). Cereal crops release SLs that regulate plant architecture and play a role in other processes related to plant ...

In particular, her team discovered what happens to a symbiosis when the plant produces stress hormones. Their research could contribute to a new agriculture in which plants and fungi are considered as ...
