A new study has identified key genetic pathways in corn that help its roots branch out to find water in soil. The findings could help the development ...

A corn plant knows how to find water in soil with the very tips of its roots, but some varieties, including many used for breeding high-yielding corn ...

The whole experiment was performed in duplicate. Besides physical parameters, biochemical contents, e.g., auxin, protein, alkaloids, terpenoids, and steroid contents were also measured. A paste of ...

Researchers from the University of Tasmania have provided new insights into auxin, a master plant hormone, and its vital role in starch production—the powerhouse of the world's most important crops.

2024). During the ethylene response in rice roots, the ethylene signaling pathway promotes the accumulation of OsEIL1 and stimulates auxin biosynthesis. The ethylene-induced accumulation of xylose ...
