plant-signaling

102 articles

Plant signaling encompasses the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which plants perceive and respond to environmental changes, hormonal signals, and stress conditions. These signaling pathways regulate fundamental biological processes including growth, development, nutrient acquisition, and defense against biotic and abiotic stress. Understanding plant signaling is essential for plant biology research and has practical applications in improving crop productivity and stress tolerance.
