A Gain‐of‐Function Mutation in DELLA Selectively Alters Protein Interactions to Regulate Wheat Tiller Angle and Plant Height

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 11, Page 6045-6064, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant architecture, especially plant height and tiller angle, plays a pivotal role in determining wheat yield. In this study, we characterize a wheat mutant termed prostrate and semidwarf 1 (prose1), exhibiting both a prostrate growth habit and semidwarfism.

Parasitic Plants Striga and Phelipanche Dependent upon Exogenous Strigolactones for Germination Have Retained Genes for Strigolactone Biosynthesis [PDF]

, 2020
Strigolactones are plant hormones with multiple functions, including regulating various aspects of plant architecture such as shoot branching, facilitating the colonization of plant roots by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, and acting as seed germination ...

Trichomes in Plant Defence, Development and Metabolic Integration Under Environmental Stress

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 8437-8453, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Among various plant defence strategies, trichomes are tiny hair‐like structures on the epidermis that aid in defence, environmental adaptation and the production of valuable secondary metabolites. This review features trichomes as frontline guards for plant survival, integrating their structural, physiological and metabolic roles in ...

Strigolactone and karrikin signal perception: receptors, enzymes, or both?

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012
The signaling molecules strigolactone (SL) and karrikin are involved in seed germination, development of axillary meristems, senescence of leaves and interactions with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.

Airborne Immunity: A Bacterial Volatile Primes Plant Defenses by Unlocking a Phytoalexin Biosynthetic Checkpoint

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 9070-9084, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs) enable plants to perceive microbial activity prior to physical contact, yet the contribution of individual bacterial volatiles to immune signalling and disease resistance remains incompletely understood.

Identification and Cloning of Tillering-Related Genes OsMAX1 in Rice

Rice Science, 2015
Tillering is an important agronomic trait which has a direct impact on plant type and grain yield. Strigolactones are a class of important phytohormones regulating rice tillering. ATMAX1 is an important gene involved in strigolactone biosynthesis through

Northern Light Reviews – Photosynthesis‐Driven Redox Regulation Modulating ROS Levels and Physiological Responses

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 6, November/December 2026.
ABSTRACT Photosynthesis is the process through which photosynthetic organisms transform sunlight into organic carbon compounds. Beyond its role as a central metabolic pathway, photosynthetic electron transport can act as a sensitive environmental sensor.

Adjustment of Root System Architecture and Root Function in Response to Multifactorial Abiotic Stress

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 6, November/December 2026.
ABSTRACT The root of land plants is a remarkably adaptive organ. Unlike the shoot with its main functions in light harvesting and photosynthesis, sexual reproduction and diaspore distribution, the root explores the soil for nutrient resources and water, while preferably avoiding zones of unfavorable conditions. Roots realize an extraordinarily flexible

Target sites for chemical regulation of strigolactone signaling

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Demands for plant growth regulators (chemicals that control plant growth) are increasing globally, especially in developing countries. Both positive and negative plant growth regulators are widely used to enhance crop production and to suppress unwanted ...
