Brassinosteroids are a class of polyhydroxylated steroid hormones essential for regulating plant growth, development and environmental responses. Perception of these ligands at the plasma membrane is ...

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a class of steroidal phytohormones that play a central role in regulating plant growth and development. Perceived at the cell surface by receptor kinases, BRs initiate a ...

New research from an international team of plant biologists, led by researchers at the VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology, has revealed crucial insights into the role ...

Diosgenin, a secondary metabolite isolated from the Dioscorea spp. plant family, is an irreplaceable and ideal starting material for the synthesis of steroid hormone drugs. Dioscorea zingiberensis is ...

Leaf senescence, the final developmental stage of plant leaves, involves chlorophyll breakdown and nutrient redistribution, directly affecting the postharvest quality of leafy vegetables. In crops ...

AMES, IA – Iowa State University researchers for the first time have mapped the various molecular components that govern how environmentally stressed plants interrupt their normal growth pathways by ...

Signal transduction The cellular process that converts a signal, such as a hormone, growth factor, neurotransmitter, cytokine, mechanical force, or environmental cue, into biochemical changes inside ...

A recent study has identified a crucial regulatory mechanism in Chinese kale, potentially revolutionizing its nutritional profile. By manipulating the BoaBZR1.1 transcription factor, researchers ...
