Ethylene is involved in the regulation of multiple plant growth and developmental processes. Here, the authors use a combination of genetic, molecular, and biochemical approaches to demonstrate that ...

Researchers at the Department of Biochemistry, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), have uncovered a long-sought mechanism employed by primitive land plants such as bryophytes (including mosses and ...

Expansins are a diverse family of cell wall proteins that modulate the loosening and extension of plant cell walls, thereby facilitating growth, differentiation, and development. These proteins ...

As sessile organisms, plants are incredibly mindful of their time. As a result, they extensively regulate cellular and physiological processes through a combination of circadian (anticipatory) and ...

How do plants achieve their remarkably regular arrangement of leaves and flowers? And why does this pattern remain so stable, even as plants grow and respond to their environment? Researchers at ...

Phosphorus is essential for undisturbed plant growth and development. However, in many soils, phosphorus is only poorly available. One mechanism used by plants to increase phosphorus availability is ...

In the evolving landscape of plant growth modeling, there is a distinguished presence of mechanistic models aimed at capturing the intricate dynamics of plant development through parameter estimation ...

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State University faculty members are developing a new facility that will utilize a specially designed robot to gather unprecedented amounts of data on the growth of plants under ...

Just like any other organism, plants can get stressed. Usually, conditions like heat and drought lead to this stress, and when they’re stressed, plants might not grow as large or produce as much. This ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Tired of staring at your lackluster backyard wondering where you went wrong? Whether you're dealing with stubbornly slow shrubs, ...

In the last column I discussed light — the first environmental factor affecting plant growth and the distribution of plants. The week, I will look at the second factor — temperature. Temperature ...
