ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL5 (HY5), a member of the bZlP transcription factor family, inhibits hypocotyl growth and lateral root development, and promotes pigment accumulation in a light-dependent manner in Arabidopsis. Rec...
Glutaredoxins are small heat-stable oxidoreductases that transfer electrons from glutathione (GSH) to oxi- dized cysteine residues, thereby contributing to protein integrity and regulation. In Arabidopsis thaliana, ...
Brassinosteroids play diverse roles in plant growth and development. Plants deficient in brassinosteroid (BR) biosynthesis or defective in signal transduction show many abnormal developmental phenotypes, indicating ...
Gibberellic acid (GA) regulates many aspects of plant growth and development. The DELLA proteins act to restrain plant growth, and GA relieves this repression by promoting their degradation via the 26S proteasome pa...
Calcium and Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are acknowledged as crucial second messengers involved in the response to various biotic and abiotic stresses. However, it is still not clear how these two compounds can pla...
Shoot-to-root communication is crucial for plant acclimation to phosphorus (P)-deficiency. Both sugars and miRNAs have been implicated as potential signal molecules transported through phloem from shoot to root for ...
Phosphate (Pi) availability is a major factor limiting growth, development, and productivity of plants. In both ecological and agricultural contexts, plants often grow in soils with low soluble phosphate content. Pl...
Auxin homeostasis is pivotal for normal plant growth and development. The superroot2 (sur2) mutant was initially isolated in a forward genetic screen for auxin overproducers, and SUR2 was suggested to control auxin ...
Nitric oxide (NO) is a diatomic gas that performs crucial functions in a wide array of physiological processes in animals. The past several years have revealed much about its roles in plants. It is well established ...
