A lab-designed hormone may unlock mysteries harbored by plants. By developing a synthetic version of the plant hormone auxin and an engineered receptor to recognize it, Howard Hughes Medical Institute ...

Auxin is a hormone crucial in nearly every aspect of plant growth and development. Advancing our understanding of auxin signaling in maize and other crop plants may provide needed tools for ...

Researchers have developed the world's first near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent nanosensor capable of real-time, non-destructive and species-agnostic detection of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)—the primary ...

There are veins in plants that move nutrients and other important molecules around. These veins have to be carefully organized, and the plant hormone called auxin helps do this by migrating from cell ...

Phytohormones are chemical messengers that regulate the growth of plants and their response to the environment. In land plants, auxin is an important and well-studied phytohormone that affects various ...

Researchers have developed the world's first species-agnostic nanosensor that enables non-destructive, real-time monitoring of plants' primary growth hormone: a form of auxin called indole-3-acetic ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University scientists Natalia Dudareva and Joseph Lynch have been searching for a way to increase a plant’s production of phenylalanine, a compound important for plant ...
