MAKING LEMONS and grapes plumper, persuading asparagus to send out more shoots, and waking up a wide variety of seeds from dormancy are all part of gibberellin's job description, but how this plant ...

A target of the plant hormones known as gibberellins has been identified. Gibberellins induce many well-characterized responses in plants, including stem elongation, but how they do so is not known.

A plant hormone once believed to promote flower formation in annual plants also plays a role in inhibiting flowers from forming. The dual role of this hormone, gibberellin, could be exploited to ...

The research team that developed a biosensor that first recorded that a distinct gradient of the plant growth hormone gibberellin correlated with plant cell size has now revealed how this distribution ...

Transplastomic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants expressing β-glucosidase (Bgl-1) show modified development. They flower 1 month earlier with an increase in biomass (1.9-fold), height (1.5-fold), and ...

Seed germination and dormancy represent critical phases in the plant life cycle, intricately balancing the timing of growth with environmental cues. Dormancy allows seeds to withstand unfavourable ...
