TL;DR: The results show that the humic fraction with low molecular size used in this study is endowed with the characteristic structural network described for most humic substances so far isolated and confirm the presence of IAA in this fraction.

TL;DR: In this research, BA was used to obtain fruitlet populations with different abscission potentials to be analyzed by means of a newly released 30K oligonucleotide microarray, and transcriptomic profiles of persisting and abscising fruitlets were tested for statistical association with abscissions potential, allowing us to identify molecular signatures strictly related to fruit destiny.

TL;DR: The data show a functional role for endoplasmic reticulum-localized PIN8 and suggest a mechanism whereby PIN8 controls auxin thresholds and access of auxin to the nucleus, thereby regulating auxin-dependent transcriptional activity.

TL;DR: Intracellular localisation of small GTPases and functional studies using dominant mutant versions of Arf and Rab GTPase are defining novel plant-specific membrane compartments, especially those that participate in endosomal vesicle trafficking.

TL;DR: Results indicate that Pp-ERS1 might play a role in abscission and ripening, and 1-methylcyclopropene, an inhibitor of ethylene action, did not affect P p-ETR1 transcription, while it down-regulated Pp -ERS1.
