Wageningen researchers have discovered that a vital plant protein originated more than 600 million years ago, long before the ...

Microbial factories provide a sustainable alternative to tree sap for producing elusive plant molecules, offering new ...

How does a tiny molecule help shape the future of global food security? Researchers from the University of Tasmania have ...

The selective weedkiller contains a growth hormone that causes the weeds to grow too quickly and die. Because most weeds have broader leaves than grass or wheat, the weedkiller is absorbed in ...

This can result in a reduction of biodiversity. Plant cuttings can be dipped in hormone rooting powder before planting. Synthetic plant hormones are used to control plant growth. For example ...

to coordinate growth of cells within the primary root. Second, we will use the example of the shade-avoidance response to illustrate the dynamics of plant hormone signaling for adaptation to a ...

A new tool could make it easier to study scarce plant molecules. Researchers have developed so-called microbial cell factories -- using E. coli and yeast -- to produce a special class of plant ...

Auxin controls starch storage in seeds by boosting gene activity, energy, and sugar flow, playing a crucial role in food ...
