Untreated (left) and mebendazole treated (right) seedling of Arabidopsis thaliana growing on the surface of vertical agar plates. While the root branches of the untreated plant point downwards, ...

Scientists have determined how the well-known plant hormone ethylene is crucial in controlling the angle at which roots grow. The findings can be used to engineer plants and crops that withstand the ...

Plants respond to stress with autophagy (self-cannibalism) as well as with ethylene. The Arabidopsis plant at far left is a wild type. The others are various ethylene response mutants that have ...
