The phytohormone jasmonates(JAs)regulate plant growth and defense responses.The reproductive organs of flowers are devastated by insect herbivores.However,the molecular mechanisms of floral defense remain largely unkn...
Newly planted apple orchards in the USA comprising the highly biennial cultivar, “Honeycrisp”, are prone to flower within the first two years from planting and set fruit. These processes limit canopy development and...
