Cover Story: The number of grown seminal roots varies in different wheat accessions and is regulated by environmental factors. Plant hormone jasmonate, endogenously produced or exogenously applied, specifically regulates the development of sixth seminal root during early seedling development. This regulatory effect strongly depends on the jasmonate concentration, the duration of the exposure to the hormone, and ontological history of seeds. The larger number of seminal roots results in a larger root surface area, longer root system, greater root biomass, and is associated with improved tolerance to conditions of water and nutrient deficiency.
