This can result in a reduction of biodiversity. Plant cuttings can be dipped in hormone rooting powder before planting. Synthetic plant hormones are used to control plant growth. For example ...

Scientists have discovered how plants adapt their root systems in drought conditions to grow steeper into the soil to access ...

By co-culturing E. coli and Baker's yeast, scientists have a way to manufacture large quantities of plant molecules for ...

Plant hormones play a major role in plant growth and development. They affect similar processes but, paradoxically, their signaling pathways act nonredundantly. Hormone signals are integrated at ...

A new tool could make it easier to study scarce plant molecules. Researchers have developed so-called microbial cell factories -- using E. coli and yeast -- to produce a special class of plant ...

Tissue culture is a technique used to grow whole new plants from small sections of a parent plant. Hormones are used to stimulate cell division and elongation. When pollen has fertilized the egg ...
