Ethephon Improved Stalk Strength of Maize (Zea Mays L.) Mainly through Altering Internode Morphological Traits to Modulate Mechanical Properties under Field Conditions

open access: yesAgronomy, 2019
Stalk strength is critical for reducing maize stalk lodging and maintaining grain yield. Ethephon has been widely applied to molding compact plant-type to reduce the lodging risk in maize production.

GROWTH-REGULATING FACTORS Interact with DELLAs and Regulate Growth in Cold Stress [PDF]

open access: yesThe Plant Cell, 2020
DELLA proteins are repressors of the gibberellin (GA) hormone signaling pathway that act mainly by regulating transcription factor activities in plants. GAs induce DELLA repressor protein degradation and thereby control a number of critical developmental processes as well as responses to stresses such as cold.

Regulation of body growth [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent 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 ...

A novel plant growth regulator brazide improved maize water productivity in the arid region of Northwest China

open access: yesAgricultural Water Management, 2023
Maize yield is limited by water deficit in the arid and semiarid regions of China. Conserving water and enhancing crop water productivity are inevitable requirements for the sustainable development of water efficient agriculture. Plant growth regulators (

The Regulation of Pubertal Growth [PDF]

open access: yesHormone Research in Paediatrics, 2003
To understand the regulation of pubertal growth, it is important to understand the present concept of the control of the onset of puberty, the change in secretion of sex steroids during puberty, and the effects of these various factors upon the production and action of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF).

Ethephon Reduces Maize Nitrogen Uptake but Improves Nitrogen Utilization in Zea mays L.

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...
