Artificially induced parthenocarpic fruits of apples, pears and tomatoes, as well as seeded fruits treated with 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid, frequently show symptoms of Ca deficiency and a low Ca content. It was concluded that auxins, probably produced by the seeds, play a significant role in Ca translocation into fruits. Exogenous indoleacetic acid but not 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid applications could replace the effect of seeds in this respect. Auxin transport, rather than auxin accumulation, seems to be necessary for Ca transport, as can be concluded from the effect of auxin transport inhibitors.

The plant hormone auxin (Indole-3-Acetic Acid, IAA) is a key player in nearly every aspect of plant growth and development ranging from cell division and cell elongation to embryogenesis and root formation. The IAA level in specific tissues and cells is regulated by synthesis, conjugation, degradation and transport. Especially long-range polar auxin transport (PAT) has been the subject of numerous studies.

Root growth and development are contingent upon continuous cell division and differentiation in root tips. In this study, we found that the knockdown of the syntaxin gene () in resulted in a significant reduction in root meristem activity and disruption of root stem cell niche (SCN) identity. The knockdown mutant exhibits a compromised SCN characterized by an increased number of quiescent center (QC) cells, abnormal columella stem cells (CSCs), reduced meristem size, and subsequent inhibition of root growth.

Plant responses to abiotic stresses have a complex polygenic nature including main and epistatic genetic factors. Several tolerant rice varieties were subjected to drought, salt and cold stresses and their transcriptomic responses were evaluated using affymetrix probe set. Meta-analysis of standardized microarray data was conducted to identify specific and common genes responding to multiple abiotic stresses.

Plants adapt to warm environments through physiological and morphological changes termed thermomorphogenesis, which involve transcriptional reprogramming exerted mainly by PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR 4 (PIF4). Fluctuating temperatures can also influence the patterns of cytosine DNA methylation, thereby influencing gene expression. However, whether these epigenetic changes provide an adaptative advantage remains unclear.
