New research explains how the plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) enhances root gravitropism by promoting auxin production, ...

Scientists have discovered how plants adapt their root systems in drought conditions to grow steeper into the soil to access deeper water reserves.

This is just like phototropism, in that auxin in the root inhibits growth and auxin in the stem promotes growth.

Researchers have learned how drought causes plants to modify their root systems so they grow deeper into the ground to reach water reserves.

We are in the midst of a cold and snowy winter in Western Pennsylvania. As we look out of the frosty windows of our warm ...

In a stem, the cells on the shaded side contain more auxin and grow longer than the cells on the light side. This causes the stem to grow towards the light. It is vital to note that the plant does ...
