When life gets tough, nature usually finds a way to help the little guys. Plants experience intense competition from their neighbors. To better survive restricted light conditions, it is common for ...

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.

Researchers demonstrate that the plant hormone gibberellin (GA) is essential for the formation and maturation of nitrogen-fixing root nodules in legumes and can also increase nodule size. Researchers ...

Engineering the orthogonalized and more reversible GPS2 biosensor to reduce GPS1 interference with and by endogenous signaling via re-engineering the GID1–DELLA interaction interface. Advancements in ...

Theanine, a unique amino acid responsible for tea's refreshing taste and calming effect, plays a central role in determining tea quality. While its biosynthetic pathway has been extensively studied, ...

The identification of a receptor for gibberellin, a plant signalling molecule, opens up new prospects for understanding plant growth and development. Not least, crop-selection programmes should ...
