[EN] Background: In saffron (Crocus sativus), new corms develop at the base of every shoot developed from the maternal corm, a globular underground storage stem. Since the degree of bud sprouts influences the number ...

[EN] The presence of antibiotics in soils could be due to natural production by soil microorganisms or to the effect of anthropogenic activities. However, the impact of these compounds on plant physiology has not been ...

The plant hormones gibberellins (GAs) regulate multiple processes of plant development. Most of this regulation occurs at the transcriptional level, through the activity of the DELLAs, which are nuclear-localized proteins ...

[ES] En nuestro laboratorio hemos iniciado el estudio del papel de la hormona giberelina (GA) en la formación de los óvulos de tomate. Mediante el análisis de mutantes, con alteraciones en los niveles hormonales o en su ...

[EN] Ovule formation is a complex developmental process in plants, with a strong impact on the production of seeds. Ovule primordia initiation is controlled by a gene network, including components of the signaling pathways ...

[EN] The avocado tree (Persea americana Mill.) has two types of shoots, indeterminate, which maintain vegetative development from an apical bud, and determinate, which do not have vegetative growth. Indeterminate shoots ...

[EN] As seed precursors, ovules are fundamental organs during the plant life cycle. Decades of morphological and molecular study have allowed for the elucidation of the complex and intricate genetic network regulating ovule ...

Background and Aims Plants are able to adapt to the environment dynamically through regulation of their growth and development. Excess copper (Cu2+ ), a toxic heavy metal, induces morphological alterations in plant ...

[EN] Pelargonic acid (PA) is a saturated fatty acid commonly found in several organisms, that is known for its phytotoxic effect and its use as bioherbicide for sustainable weed management. Although PA is already commercialised ...

[ES] El desarrollo de los organismos multicelulares requiere la coordinación de múltiples programas de crecimiento. En plantas, el tallo experimenta dos tipos de crecimiento: el longitudinal (primario) y el radial (secundario). ...
