In common with other plant species, the garden pea (Pisum sativum) produces the auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) from tryptophan via a single intermediate, indole-3-pyruvic acid (IPyA). IPyA is converted to IAA by PsYUC1, also known as Crispoid (Crd)...

Light absorption by plants changes the composition of light inside vegetation. Blue (B) and red (R) light are used for photosynthesis whereas far-red (FR) and green light are reflected. A combination of UV-B, blue and R:FR-responsive photoreceptors c...

Changes in the level of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a good indicator to monitor fluctuations in cellular metabolism and in the stress responses. In this study, the changes in H2O2 content during bud endodormancy (ED) and budbreak were analysed in gra...

Although recent research progress on the abundant C-to-U RNA editing events in plant chloroplasts and mitochondria has uncovered many recognition factors and their molecular mechanisms, the intrinsic regulation of RNA editing within plants remains la...

Strawberries are mainly propagated by stolons, which can be divided into monopodial and sympodial types. Monopodial stolons consistently produce ramets at each node following the initial single dormant bud, whereas sympodial stolons develop a dormant...

Heterostyly employs distinct hermaphroditic floral morphs to enforce outbreeding. Morphs differ structurally in stigma/anther positioning, promoting cross-pollination, and physiologically blocking self-fertilization. Heterostyly is controlled by a se...

Cytokinin is an important phytohormone that employs a multistep phosphorelay to transduce the signal from receptors to the nucleus, culminating in activation of type-B response regulators which function as transcription factors. Recent chromatin immu...

Targeted protein inactivation (TPI) is an elegant approach to investigate protein function and its role in the cellular landscape, overcoming limitations of genetic perturbation strategies. These systems act in a reversible manner and reduce off-targ...

The growth of leaves is subject to strict time regulation. Several genes influencing leaf growth have been identified, but little is known about how genes regulate the orderly initiation and growth of leaves. Here, we demonstrate that TaKLU/TaCYP78A5...

Salinity stress severely hampers plant growth and productivity. How to improve plants’ salt tolerance is an urgent issue. However, the molecular basis of plant resistance to salinity still remains unclear. In this study, we used two poplar spec...

Paclobutrazol (PAC) is a significant inhibitor of gibberellin biosynthesis that profoundly influences grape seed development (GSD) through the modulation of key molecular pathways. Here, we identified 6659 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in GSD...
