New component of a plant steroid-activated pathway discovered

By Carnegie HQ
Palo Alto, CA —Plant biologists have been working for years to nail down the series of chemical signals that one class of plant hormones, called brassinosteroids, send from a protein on the surface of a plant cell to the cell’s nucleus. New research ...

Shaping the Leaf Blade – Identification of a New Mechanism to Prevent HD-ZIPIII Dimerization

By admin
Leaf cells are specialized to optimize photosynthesis. Cells in the upper portion of the leaf are tightly packed and dense with chloroplasts to capture light energy. Cells in the lower portion are more irregularly shaped and loosely arranged to ...

Unlocking the secrets of a plant’s light sensitivity

By Carnegie HQ
Palo Alto, CA— Plants are very sensitive to light conditions because light is their source of energy and also a signal that activates the special photoreceptors that regulate growth, metabolism, and physiological development. Scientists believe that ...
