Amide conjugates of the jasmonate precursor cis-(+)-12-oxo-phytodienoic acid regulate its homeostasis during plant stress responses.

Jasmonates are a family of oxylipin phytohormones regulating plant development and growth and mediating "defense versus growth" responses. The upstream JA biosynthetic precursor cis-(+)-12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (cis-OPDA) acts independently of CORONATIVE INSENSITIVE 1-mediated JA signaling in several stress-induced and developmental processes. However, its perception and metabolism are only partially understood.

A decoy receptor derived from alternative splicing fine-tunes cytokinin signaling in Arabidopsis.

Hormone perception and signaling pathways have a fundamental regulatory function in the physiological processes of plants. Cytokinins, a class of plant hormones, regulate cell division and meristem maintenance. The cytokinin signaling pathway is well established in the model plant Arabidopsisthaliana.

Sucrose-responsive osmoregulation of plant cell size by a long non-coding RNA.

In plants, sugars are the key source of energy and metabolic building blocks. The systemic transport of sugars is essential for plant growth and morphogenesis. Plants evolved intricate molecular networks to effectively distribute sugars.

Spider mite infestation triggers coordinated hormonal trade-offs enabling plant survival with a fitness cost.

Tetranychus urticae is an important pest that causes severe damage to a wide variety of plants and crops, leading to a substantial productivity loss. Previous research has been focused on plant defence response to T. urticae to improve plant resistance.

Karrikinolide1 (KAR), a Bioactive Compound from Smoke, Improves the Germination of Morphologically Dormant L. Seeds by Reducing Indole-3-Acetic Acid (IAA) Levels.

Smoke-water (SW) and Karrikinolide1 (KAR) release dormancy and improve seed germination in many plant species. Therefore, we tested SW (1:2500 /) and KAR (10 M) to break the morphological dormancy of celery cultivar ( L.).
