The effects of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide on shoot-root nitrogen and water signaling. [PDF]
Terrestrial higher plants are composed of roots and shoots, distinct organs that conduct complementary functions in dissimilar environments. For example, roots are responsible for acquiring water and nutrients such as inorganic nitrogen from the soil ...

Characterisation of the ERF102 to ERF105 genes of Arabidopsis thaliana and their role in the response to cold stress [PDF]
The ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR (ERF) genes of Arabidopsis thaliana form a large family encoding plant-specific transcription factors. Here, we characterise the four phylogenetically closely related ERF102/ERF5, ERF103/ERF6, ERF104 and ERF105 genes ...

Single-cell-based system to monitor carrier driven cellular auxin homeostasis [PDF]
Background: Abundance and distribution of the plant hormone auxin play important roles in plant development. Besides other metabolic processes, various auxin carriers control the cellular level of active auxin and, hence, are major regulators of cellular

Fluorescent reporter lines for auxin and cytokinin signalling in barley (Hordeum vulgare). [PDF]
The phytohormones auxin and cytokinin control development and maintenance of plant meristems and stem cell systems. Fluorescent protein reporter lines that monitor phytohormone controlled gene expression programmes have been widely used to study ...

EIN2 and COI1 control the antagonism between ethylene and jasmonate in adventitious rooting of Arabidopsis thaliana thin cell layers [PDF]
Auxins induce adventitious roots (ARs) in numerous culture-systems, and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) is frequently the best AR-inducer. Vitamin requirements vary according to species, explant, and culture-conditions. Arabidopsis thaliana thin cell layers (

Identification and characterization of the first cytokinin glycosyltransferase from rice
Background Cytokinins are one of the five major hormones families in plants and are important for their normal growth and environmental adaptability. In plants, cytokinins are mostly present as glycosides in plants, and their glycosylation modifications ...

The Relationship between AGAMOUS and Cytokinin Signaling in the Establishment of Carpeloid Features
Gynoecium development is dependent on gene regulation and hormonal pathway interactions. The phytohormones auxin and cytokinin are involved in many developmental programs, where cytokinin is normally important for cell division and meristem activity ...

Cytokinins which promote cell division and cell differentiation of plants are structurally classified into two groups: purine-type cytokinins and phenylurea-type cytokinins. Structural modification of the two types led a potent cytokinin, N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N'-phenylurea (forchlorfenuron). Structure-activity relationship was discussed.

Arabidopsis ABCG14 is essential for the root-to-shoot translocation of cytokinin. [PDF]
Cytokinins are phytohormones that induce cytokinesis and are essential for diverse developmental and physiological processes in plants. Cytokinins of the trans-zeatin type are mainly synthesized in root vasculature and transported to the shoot, where ...
