Gravitropism in plants.

The investigation and shutdown drew considerable attention because of Professor Roger Innes’s defense of Chinese researchers convicted of illegally importing research material.

Work at an Indiana University biology lab was halted amid federal scrutiny, affecting dozens of researchers. “The damage is significant and mounting,” the department chair told The Chronicle.

Roger Innes holds the Class of 1954 Professorship in Biology and is former Chair of the Department of Biology at Indiana University Bloomington. He earned his B.A. in Biology at Humboldt State Univers...

This study reveals that enhanced autophagy in root-hair-forming cells helps Arabidopsis store excess sodium, control oxidative stress and tolerate salt stress.

Junto a otros expertos internacionales encontraron que, frente a temperaturas elevadas, producen en exceso una hormona que les permite extender la longitud de sus raíces y así poder captar la humedad ...

Plants can't move to escape the heat like humans can; they are forced to adapt. As temperatures fluctuate, one key survival strategy is the ability of roots to keep growing, allowing plants to access water and nutrients farther away in the soil. But how do plants sense temperature and translate it into growth? Salk Institute scientists have uncovered a new answer in a familiar plant hormone: auxin. Their research appears in Nature Communications.

Salk scientists find a plant protein that can directly sense temperature, giving plants a built-in cellular “thermostat" that could be a useful target for creating future crops that are more resilient in the face of extreme temperatures.

Abstract. Plants in typical agricultural stands inevitably experience mutual shading. As the canopy develops, neighbour cues progressively reduce the activ

Diffuse cell expansion mainly in the longitudinal axis of the organ significantly contributes to root organ growth. Root cell expansion is a diverse, …

It turns out that the auxin receptor TIR produces the second messenger cAMP. Now researchers led by Jiří Friml show in Nature that the production of cAMP and not the degradation of Aux/IAA proteins…

Argentinian start-up Apolo Biotech is teaching plants to fight infections

The force generated by active transport modulates protein condensation.

cAMP produced by the TIR1/AFB receptors of the main endogenous developmental plant hormone auxin acts as a true second messenger, revising the established paradigm of transcriptional auxin signalling.

It seems that there is no end to the surprises that RNA provides. To the old-school trio of mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA, the past 20 years have added miRNA, siRNA, tasiRNA and others, all with unique and…
