Ethephon Reduces Maize Nitrogen Uptake but Improves Nitrogen Utilization in Zea mays L.
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Increasing use of plant density or/and nitrogen (N) application has been introduced to maize production in the past few decades. However, excessive planting density or/and use of fertilizer may cause reduced N use efficiency (NUE) and increased lodging ...

Regulation of body growth [PDF]
Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2015 Recent basic studies have yielded important new insights into the molecular mechanisms that regulate growth locally. Simultaneously, clinical studies have identified new molecular defects that cause growth failure and overgrowth, and genome-wide association studies have elucidated the genetic basis for normal human height variation.The Hippo pathway ...

Giving maize an excited start – Effects of dopamine on maize germination
Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2020 Dopamine (DA) is a neurotransmitter which takes charge of brain activities about memory and self-stimulation behavior in animals. Interestingly, our results suggest that DA could also give maize an “excited state”.

Growth Regulation by Macrophages [PDF]
, 1982 The evidence reviewed here indicates that macrophages, either acting alone or in concert with other cells, influence the proliferation of multiple types of cells. Most of the data indicate that these effects are mediated by soluble macrophage-elaborated products (probably proteins) although the role of direct cell-to-cell contacts cannot be ruled out ...

Response Mechanisms of Plants Under Saline-Alkali Stress
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 As two coexisting abiotic stresses, salt stress and alkali stress have severely restricted the development of global agriculture. Clarifying the plant resistance mechanism and determining how to improve plant tolerance to salt stress and alkali stress ...
