Nitric Oxide-Mediated Maize Root Apex Responses to Nitrate are Regulated by Auxin and Strigolactones

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Nitrate (NO3-) is a key element for crop production but its levels in agricultural soils are limited. Plants have developed mechanisms to cope with these NO3- fluctuations based on sensing nitrate at the root apex.

ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZA – PARTNER IN COMMUNICATION

Acta Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus, 2017
Arbuscular mycorrhiza is one of the most common type of mycorrhiza in plant kingdom. Process of plant root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi is consisted of four phases: presymbiotic phase, phase of contact and hyphae penetration to the roots,

Graft Biology in the CRISPR Era: From Tissue Fusion to Genome Compatibility

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant lineage has traditionally constrained grafting compatibility, with monocots generally considered incompatible because of their dispersed vascular bundles and limited secondary growth. Recent studies have shown that embryonic grafting can establish successful graft unions in selected monocot systems by exploiting early developmental ...

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.

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.
