Regulation of plant growth by cytokinin [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2001
Cytokinins are a class of plant-specific hormones that play a central role during the cell cycle and influence numerous developmental programs. Because of the lack of biosynthetic and signaling mutants, the regulatory roles of cytokinins are not well understood.

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 (

Diurnal regulation of plant growth* [PDF]

open access: yesPlant, Cell & Environment, 2006
ABSTRACTLife occurs in an ever‐changing environment. Some of the most striking and predictable changes are the daily rhythms of light and temperature. To cope with these rhythmic changes, plants use an endogenous circadian clock to adjust their growth and physiology to anticipate daily environmental changes.

Thiocarbamates as plant growth regulators [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 1961
The findings of van der Kerk and his coworkers (10) that carboxymethyl (limietlhyldithiocarbamate (1) caused epinastic curvature ancl leaf deformations as well as some elongation of Avena coleoptile tissue related its action as a growth regulator to that of indole-3-acetic acid and other aromatic structures.

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 ...

Coronatine-Induced Maize Defense against Gibberella Stalk Rot by Activating Antioxidants and Phytohormone Signaling

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2023
One of the most destructive diseases, Gibberella stalk rot (GSR), caused by Fusarium graminearum, reduces maize yields significantly. An induced resistance response is a potent and cost-effective plant defense against pathogen attack.
