Multifactorial Role of Phytogenic CeO2 NPs in Crop Improvement and Stress Alleviation: A Mechanistic Overview

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
The graphical abstract illustrates how CeO2 nanoparticles help plants withstand biotic and abiotic stresses. Their application reduces excessive ROS through enhanced antioxidant defenses, whereas modulating stress signaling, phytohormones, and gene expression.

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 ...

AUXIN RESPONSE FACTORs: from transcription factors to auxin effectors

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 2, Page 607-613, October 2026.
Molecular evolution of AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR (ARF) effector function. Summary Signalling pathways have originated and diversified extensively during evolution. Using AUXIN RESPONSE FACTORs (ARFs) as a model, we examine how a plant signalling system evolved through the co‐option of pre‐existing transcriptional regulators, a principle well established in

Spatial Coordination of Phosphorus and Water Enhances Maize Growth and Phosphorus Uptake by Modifying Root Distribution

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Phosphorus (P) and water are essential but often spatially mismatched resources in agricultural soils, limiting plant growth and nutrient uptake efficiency. Their low mobility and uneven distribution in the soil profile necessitate strategies that optimize their use, particularly through targeted management at the root‐soil interface.

3D modelling of branching in plants [PDF]

, 2011
Shoot branching is a key determinant of overall aboveground plant form. During plant development, the number of branches formed strongly influences the amount of light absorbed by the plant, and thus the plant’s competitive strength in terms of light ...

Strigolactone synthesis is ancestral in land plants, but canonical strigolactone signalling is a flowering plant innovation

BMC Biology, 2019
Background Strigolactones (SLs) are an important class of carotenoid-derived signalling molecule in plants, which function both as exogenous signals in the rhizosphere and as endogenous plant hormones.

Microbiome‐mediated plant‐soil feedbacks as a tool for resilient agriculture

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2026.
Translating plant‐soil feedbacks (PSFs) into reliable agricultural management requires shifting from input‐dependent practices toward endogenous, process‐driven crop resilience. To bridge this gap, we propose a predictive framework centered on three strategic interventions: engineering the crop holobiont, diversifying the soil habitat, and deploying ...

Mining rare haplotypes to accelerate precision breeding in rice

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Rice (Oryza sativa L.) genomics has made significant progress, with over 13000 genome sequences available and more than 4500 genes functionally characterized. However, limited haplotype‐level information has constrained the effective deployment of these genes in breeding programs.

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Inhibitory Roles of Strigolactone in Axillary Bud Outgrowth in Ratoon Rice

Plants
Axillary bud outgrowth, a key factor in ratoon rice yield formation, is regulated by several phytohormone signals. The regulatory mechanism of key genes underlying ratoon buds in response to phytohormones in ratoon rice has been less reported.

The molecular regulation of axillary bud fate determination and outgrowth into branch crown in strawberry involves BRC1

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 3021-3038, September 2026.
Proposed regulatory model for the axillary bud (AXB) fate determination of outgrowth into stolon and branch crown (BC) in strawberry. Summary In strawberry, the axillary bud (AXB) can produce either an elongated stem called stolon giving a daughter‐plant (asexual reproduction) or an inflorescence‐bearing branch crown (BC; sexual reproduction).
