Just like any other organism, plants can get stressed. Usually, conditions like heat and drought lead to this stress, and when they’re stressed, plants might not grow as large or produce as much. This ...

A new study shows how plant molecules that originally evolved to detect smoke have been adapted as hormone sensors in pea plants. This has wide implications for crops and green plants in general.

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Maryland (UMD) have discovered an entirely new role for a well-known plant molecule called ACC, providing the first clear example of ACC acting on its own as a likely ...

Nicotiana benthamiana plants in a lab at UC Davis. Plants form new branches when a hormone called strigolactone breaks down. UC Davis plant biologists have now defined the enzymes that break down ...
