Striking and pronounced growth responses to the gibberellins as plant regulators and hormones are well known and readily produced in suitable plants. It was our purpose to study the effects of such growth responses on the concentrations of plant lipids and on the concentrations of antioxidants that are synthesized in plants. Growth changes were induced in pea plants by the application of gibber...

The emergence of complex shapes during the development of plants is under the control of genetically determined molecular networks. Such regulatory networks, comprising hormones and transcription factors, regulate the collective behavior of cell growth within a tissue. Because all the cells within a tissue are linked together by the cell wall, their collective growth generates a good amount of ...

Maximizing crop yield depends on the leaves receiving an optimal supply of water, mineral nutrients, small organic molecules, proteins, and hormones from the root system via the xylem. Soil drying and salinization alter these xylem fluxes, and modern omics techniques offer unparalleled opportunities to understand the complexity of these responses. Although absolute xylem concentrations of any c...
