Vitamin C is a key nutritional component in fruits, yet its concentration often changes dramatically as fruits develop. New research reveals how a plant hormone signaling pathway actively suppresses ...
A model for the regulation of floral organ number and fruit length by CsGPA1 in the CLV signaling pathway. The CsCLV3 peptide is received by receptor kinase CsCLV1. Gα-subunit CsGPA1 protein interacts ...
Scientists identified a gene responsible for triggering plants to develop fruits and seeds. This finding may help agriculturists bypass pollination altogether for food production, which will be ...
Orcharding requires effort, but the resulting yields of fresh fruit make it all worthwhile. One of the most important aspects of growing fruit trees is pruning. This applies to large commercial and ...
