WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A Purdue University study confirms complex associations among plant hormones and their signaling pathways that are key to controlling plant architecture. Plant architecture is ...

The research team that developed a biosensor that first recorded that a distinct gradient of the plant growth hormone gibberellin correlated with plant cell size has now revealed how this distribution ...

Culture supernatants of Azotobacter vinelandii and Azotobacter beijerinckii contain auxins, at least three gibberellin-like substances and three cytokinin-like substances. Treating roots of tomato ...

MAKING LEMONS and grapes plumper, persuading asparagus to send out more shoots, and waking up a wide variety of seeds from dormancy are all part of gibberellin's job description, but how this plant ...

A target of the plant hormones known as gibberellins has been identified. Gibberellins induce many well-characterized responses in plants, including stem elongation, but how they do so is not known.

Engineering the orthogonalized and more reversible GPS2 biosensor to reduce GPS1 interference with and by endogenous signaling via re-engineering the GID1–DELLA interaction interface. Advancements in ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from the Disruptive & Sustainable Technologies for Agricultural Precision (DiSTAP) Interdisciplinary Research Group (IRG) of Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and ...

The development of female cannabis inflorescences is tightly regulated by day length and plant hormones, with direct implications for fiber, seed, and cannabinoid production. This study shows that ...

Miranda Earnest, the new horticulture aide for Buffalo County Extension, is a 2015 Aurora High School graduate. She received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln on May 4, ...

Researchers have discovered a new way to increase plant growth by suppressing the natural response to environmental stress. The scientists have found a modifier protein that can be used to interfere ...

Transplastomic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants expressing β-glucosidase (Bgl-1) show modified development. They flower 1 month earlier with an increase in biomass (1.9-fold), height (1.5-fold), and ...
