A β-glucoside encoded by a cloned Zea mays complementary DNA (Zm-p60.1) cleaved the
biologically inactive hormone conjugates cytokinin-O-glucosides and kinetin-N3-glucoside, …

Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) is steadily gaining more attention in the field of molecular
biology research. It is a major REDOX (reduction–oxidation reaction) metabolite and at high …

The vast majority of agricultural land undergoes abiotic stress that can significantly reduce
agricultural yields. Understanding the mechanisms of plant defenses against stresses and …

Heat shock proteins 70 (HSP70s) are steadily gaining more attention in the field of plant
biotic interactions. Though their regulation and activity in plants are much less well …

The development and activity of the procambium and cambium, which ensure vascular tissue
formation, is critical for overall plant architecture and growth. However, little is known about …

Cytokinin is a multifaceted plant hormone that plays major roles not only in diverse plant
growth and development processes, but also stress responses. We summarize knowledge of …

Our phenotyping and hormonal study has characterized the role of cytokinins (CK) in the
drought and recovery responses of Arabidopsis thaliana. CK down-regulation was achieved by …

Embryo sac formation is a fundamental step in sexual reproduction in plants. However, the
key players involved in the development of the female gametophyte remain elusive. We …

DELLA transcriptional regulators are central components in the control of plant growth
responses to the environment. This control is considered to be mediated by changes in the …

The phytohormone cytokinin has been shown to affect many aspects of plant development
ranging from the regulation of the shoot apical meristem to leaf senescence. However, some …
