In plants, researchers have defined a number of retrograde signaling pathways between the chloroplast and the nucleus by damaging chloroplast integrity using various inhibitors of chloroplast ...

Nicotiana benthamiana plants in a lab at UC Davis. Plants form new branches when a hormone called strigolactone breaks down. UC Davis plant biologists have now defined the enzymes that break down ...

But what causes a plant to grow branches? New research from the University of California, Davis shows how plants break down the hormone strigolactone, which suppresses branching, to become more ...
