Large differences in water-seeking ability found in U.S. corn varieties
While auxin was already known to help control this process, ethylene’s involvement was a new discovery. In experiments with thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana) – a model plant often used in ...

Auxin and Gibberellins Are Required for the Receptor-Like Kinase ERECTA Regulated Hypocotyl Elongation in Shade Avoidance in Arabidopsis
2016; Yang and Li, 2017). In Arabidopsis and Brassica rapa seedlings, auxins are biosynthesized in the cotyledon when suffered to shade and cotyledon-synthesized auxins are then transported to promote ...

Disentangling leaf-microbiome interactions in Arabidopsis thaliana by network mapping
Analyzing leaf microbiome data from an Arabidopsis GWAS, we identify several heritable hub microbes for leaf microbial communities and detect 140–728 SNPs (Single nucleotide polymorphisms) responsible ...
