Phytohormones are crucial endogenous modulators that regulate and integrate plant growth and responses to various environmental pollutants, including the uptake of pollutants into the plant. However, possible links between endogenous phytohormone pathways and pollutant accumulation are unclear. Here we describe the fluoranthene uptake, plant growth, and superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activities in relation to different endogenous phytohormones and different levels in Arabidopsis thaliana. Three phytohormone inhibitors-N-1-naphthyl-phthalamic acid (NPA), daminozide (DZ), and silver nitrate (SN)-were used to regulate endogenous auxin, gibberellin, and ethylene levels, respectively. Fluoranthene inhibited plant growth and root proliferation while increasing GST and SOD activity. The three inhibitors reduced fluoranthene levels in Arabidopsis by either affecting plant growth or modulating antioxidant enzyme activity. NPA reduced plant growth and increased CAT activity. SN promoted plant growth and increased POD and CAT activity, whereas DZ increased POD activity.

Plant zygote cells exhibit tip growth, producing a hemisphere-like tip. To understand how this hemisphere-like tip shape is formed, we revisited a viscoelastic-plastic deformation model that enabled us to simultaneously evaluate the shape, stress and strain of Arabidopsis () zygote cells undergoing tip growth. Altering the spatial distribution of cell wall extensibility revealed that cosine-type distribution and growth in a normal direction to the surface create a stable hemisphere-like tip shape.

In this work, we present a quantitative comparison of the cell division dynamics between populations of intact and regenerating root tips in the plant model system To achieve the required temporal resolution and to sustain it for the duration of the regeneration process, we adopted a live imaging system based on light-sheet fluorescence microscopy, previously developed in the laboratory. We offer a straightforward quantitative analysis of the temporal and spatial patterns of cell division events showing a statistically significant difference in the frequency of mitotic events and spatial separation of mitotic event clusters between intact and regenerating roots.

Noise is a ubiquitous feature for all organisms growing in nature. Noise (defined here as stochastic variation) in the availability of nutrients, water and light profoundly impacts their growth and development. Not only is noise present as an external factor but cellular processes themselves are noisy.

Ion homeostasis is a crucial process in plants that is closely linked to the efficiency of nutrient uptake, stress tolerance and overall plant growth and development. Nevertheless, our understanding of the fundamental processes of ion homeostasis is still incomplete and highly fragmented. Especially at the mechanistic level, we are still in the process of dissecting physiological systems to analyse the different parts in isolation.

Plant growth and development are tightly regulated by cell division, elongation, and differentiation. A visible plant phenotype at the tissue or organ level is coordinated at the cellular level. Among these cellular regulations (cell division, elongation and differentiation), cell division in plants follows the same universal mechanisms across kingdoms of life, and involves conserved cell cycle regulatory proteins (cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinase and cell cycle inhibitors).
