Germination and early seedling development are coordinately regulated by glucose and phytohormones such as ABA, GA, and ethylene. However, the molecules that affect plant responses to glucose and phytohormones remain to be fully elucidated. Eukaryotic release factor 1 (eRF1) is responsible for the recognition of the stop codons in mRNAs during protein synthesis. Accumulating evidence indicates ...

Phytohormones such as salicylic acid (SA), ethylene (ET) and jasmonic acid (JA) play key roles in plant defense following pathogen attack. Involvement of these hormones in plant susceptibility following Fusarium oxysporum (Fo) infection has mostly been studied in Arabidopsis thaliana. However, Fo causes vascular wilt disease in a broad range of crops, including tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Su...

Abstract This (two-season) study was undertaken to assess the involvement of gibberellins (GAs), cytokinins (CKs), and auxins (AX) in dormancy sweet cherry buds ‘Summit’. Our hypothesis consisted assumption that representatives these hormone groups are able mark transition between different phases. Changes endo- ecodormancy stages ontogenetic development were not recognizable by bioactive GA 1 ...

We investigated the effect of salicylic acid (SA) on plant resistance to environmental stress factors. Treatment of wheat plants with 0.05 mM SA increased the level of cell division within the apical meristem of seedling roots which caused an increase in plant growth. Phytohormones are known to play a key role in plant growth regulation. It was found that the SA treatment caused accumulation of...
