Trying to grow new plants from the cuttings of your existing plants? Break out the rooting hormone. Rooting hormone is ...

Rooting powder contains plant hormones to promote growth. Plant cuttings can be dipped in hormone rooting powder before planting. Synthetic plant hormones are used to control plant growth.

Scientists have discovered how plants adapt their root systems ... The study highlights how ABA and auxin, another key hormone, work together to shape root growth angle, providing a potential ...

Selective weedkillers kill some plants, but not others. This can be useful for getting rid of dandelions in a lawn without killing the grass, or weeds that compete with crops such as wheat.

Why not start propagating in winter and get more plants for free? It can be done with hardwood cuttings from these popular ...

Microbial factories provide a sustainable alternative to tree sap for producing elusive plant molecules, offering new ...

How does a tiny molecule help shape the future of global food security? Researchers from the University of Tasmania have ...

Spatial control of phytohormone signaling within the primary root There are many cases of regulation between hormone pathways that do not involve auxin 3 (Fig. 1). However, it appears that plants ...

Root architecture is an important agronomic trait that plays an essential role in water uptake, soil compactions, nutrient recycling, plant–microbe interactions, and hormone-mediated signaling ...

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

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 ...
